Here we go again..

sold all my equipment to a guy that worked for me.well his driver wont drive a freightliner wants a pete or a kw.freind dident know what to do so he asked me for help.simple i said we went to the scrap yard and got a pretty red oval emblem.went over to his house tonight and gave it to him and his wife and said new driver for the truck and i hope he's happy with his large car we got him.LOL well i bought the truck back from him.now the question. should I fixit up or resell it and buy a newer one here's the specs.

1995 FLD120
CAT 3406e motor with 310000 mi on rebuild inc turbo and all acc's
80% tires
60% brakes
needs paint(bad)
overall needs about $5000.00 in work

or should i sell it and buy a 04/05 truck from a dealer?

so what do you think p,s, i can do most of the work myself

thanks WALT

 

I dont mind Freightliners but im scared to spend alot of money for someone elses problem..I did that once at select trucks here in Tampa and learned my lesson.I got an 03 with every kind of warranty including factory and it made 6 trips to chicago in a 6 month time frame.it blew engion,trans,clutch and to top it all off it was a katrina storm truck. checked behind interior panels and found water leval marks.funny thing is detroit said it was in great shape Walt
