I have an opportunity to purchase several new Mack MP8/MDrives,

Yes, they are still for sale, I decided that if I was going to spend 100g's , per truck, I might as well just order what I want and spend 125G's? They aren't bad trucks for that price, not sure I like the idea of them setting around for 3+ years? I can see new batteries and possibly DEF issues right off the bat?

 

I have an order put together for T680 with MX11 and 12 speed Endurance tranny's 52" sleeper single axle, I am approved for finance for up to 6 units though Paccar, problem is, I am just having a hard time pulling that trigger to go into debt. When my current trucks are running well I want to push it off, as soon as I have a truck go down I am like, ORDER TRUCKS DUMMY!!! LOL

 

I know Dave, best price I could get on the above 680's was 134,000 (includes FET) that is for a nicely equipped BUT small sleeper, small motor, single axle truck that I will be married to for a decade, I already know that resale will be terrible on them. BUT, I also can't see spending another 30g's a truck just to buy something that I can sell later that doesn't fit our profile???

 

I have, I think what is REALLY holding me back is the FET deal, I DO realize that nobody likes to pay taxes, but the FET alone on new trucks and trailers is over 130,000!!! I guess I am holding out hope that they will repeal this BS tax in the near future?
