Help me make a decision

Read my reply. Don't recommend.

 

Good price, great motor.

 

for $12K go for it expect a lot of minor annoying repairs and maintenance,,don't do it if you can't do most of the repairs your self,,

 

Hi kabusheke, I can't see the rest of the truck, but a maroon KW like that with a Wis. plate indicates, it's probably an old Millis truck.( or a Karl's truck, which may have been bought from Millis) And that many miles, would probably confirm that fact. Not that that's a bad thing, as Millis takes pretty good care of their equipment, but even they know when to get rid of a truck. Since just about everything has been replaced (at least once) the problem with older trucks is the electrical system. It's just a spaghetti bowl of wires under the dash, and many things probably don't work right now. Not sure what you are going to do with it. Be ok for a local truck, but I'd be leery taking that across country, although, I'm sure many do. If you aren't mechanically inclined, electrical issues can break the bank. Still not a bad deal. Good luck.

 

That does look like an old Karl's truck to me. The Millis trucks are a bit darker in color. Karl's had a good reputation of upkeep, but I am sure that truck left their fleet a long time ago.

 

Hi Jumbo, either way, I hope it wasn't this one.
