    Could call and ask. To get a ball park. 12 to 15 is what they are selling them for. Maybe they pay 8 k to get them and then flip em.

    You are gonna have a tough time finding somewhere that's gonna finance an old truck....with the exception of a buy here, pay here, high interest rate, and no credit reporting like Arrow.
    How much are you looking to spend on a 12+ yr old truck?

    Not really looking for financing on an older truck. Would rather put my truck as a trade and make up the difference in cash. I think i can get a older freightliner years 99-04(if engine is 03) for 15k

    Yeah, or less. You said you were close to having truck paid off, and your trailer can't be too far behind, if you can just bank those payments and pay cash, then you could take your time selling your International and not take as big of a hit on it.... Probably not the answer you wanted though ;)
     
    HalpinUout and TruckerPete1990 Thank this.
