    I would start with a Thermo King dealer as they may have inventory. Some owners/fleets will lease them, so ask the dealer who does the financing on them. Also, just did a quick Kijiji search and a few came up. And you might have more luck looking in the US... likely much more inventory. If you go south you could get it installed or even just hung on your frame and finished up at home.

    Like @not4hire said, check with dealers! you want factory Reman units with Warranty! Used units are to much of a gamble IMHO, the parts are simply to expensive to fix them from scratch now. Also checkout APU centre in the US, lots of reman units for good prices and they have really clean installs.

    I'm good mechanically as far as any repairs etc, and I'll probably install it myself. Definitely want a TK. I have been looking south but most are not complete and when you add the exchange they get pricy. I tried local east coast dealers with no luck I'll have to look at Qc and Ontario.

    Chances of a dealer taking one off in reasonably good condition are going to be pretty slim. You might be able to find one on a wrecked truck at a wreckers and have a dealer go over it for you.

    Guy had a used one on Kijiji and wants 13k for it. USED. not sure what he's smoking. I've seen them as low as 2k and 9k installed. I'd like to spend 4to5k for a fairly low hr unit (under 5000) and install it myself.

    Can't help much where to find a used unit. Auction time might be an option.

    I dug out a supplier for parts at a reasonable price. I think their name is thermobyproducts. I don't know if they ship to Canada. I used a shipping address in ND.
     
    Elroythekid Thanks this.
