New Truck, or Used Truck?

Mike, I think you missed my sarcasm in that.... ALL the variables go your way ALL the time??? Uh.... probably not until I am reincarnated as the Dalai Lama.

 

I CAN'T do that. My spreadsheet wouldn't let me go there. It has limits, even if I didn't. I coded in a BS detector. LOL

one of these.......I am not really drooling.....

 

Sorry, meant to do THIS: THese are the used trucks for that lease.
ALL TRUCKS COME WITH A 2 YEAR 400,000 MILE WARRANTY ON ALL MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENTS.

So if absolutely NOTHING went wrong with one of these for the whole 2 Years....are lifters, pushrods, connecting rod bearings, valves, alternator, compressor, water pump, head gasket, bearings, seals, or rings, considered MAJOR? LOL
Well, if it didn't die in 2 years....I guess that's like a lease completion bonus. At least you OWN this when it's 7 years old. and you don't have to pay it off. LOL
