Thinking of buying a used 2016 Freightliner Columbia S 60 Series with 480k miles.
500hp
10 speed eaton
3.42 gear ration
( Fitz glider)
My concern are the miles for a 2016 truck. Maybe I can get some advice?
I will do a dyno, compression check, oil samples, blowby test, air cooler leak test, check the frond end and fluid samples from the tranny and both diff's.
I had a realy BAD experience with a DPF truck so i said to my self NEVER AGAIN. That's the main reason why I'm looking at gliders but they are so expensive...
I'm trying to get this one down to $73,000, it was listed for $79,900. Truck is in Altoona, IA ( Harrison truck centar ) I've been in this business for little over 4 years. This would be my first s 60 series. Any advice would be really appreciate.
Thanks Martin

Harrison truck center has a good reputation for their glider build quality. My question is did Harrison, build it or fitzgerald? Being two years old it should have some warranty left. S60 engine can be fixed almost anywhere.

The coronados will be more $. Don't think it is a terrible deal. Maybe high 60's to 70k would be ok. Can you send me a link to it?

They have many to choose from. The biggest disadvantage I have heard is that you can’t take them off property. This could be a deal breaker for you because I would want to put it on a Dyno before buying used.
