    I have figured out this would be the best business in the world if you could get rid of trucks, trailers and drivers.

    Oh, and shippers and receivers.

    Outside of that it is all easy.

    That's why he needs a better financing arrangement that will allow him to buy a 2003 or older anything....and sell that '08. Trouble is it may not be worth $32K. Thats' why I said maybe look into a cat house.

    Nobody lends money to buy anything older than 10 years, probably8 years. Which shows again cash is king.
