    Yeah, that's a truck so what's your point?

    It doesn't matter what it looks on the outside, it matters what is inside the engine and trans.

    Do your due diligence before you commit buying anything.

    If the inside wasn't taken care of, do you think the drivetrain was?

    Have you thought about buying a truck in Canada where the dollar is worth $0.75 US?

    Here's an example, a 2016 Prostar with 550,000 miles that looks a whole lot cleaner than the FL you're looking at for $50,000 CDN, just under $38,000 USD.
    (odometer reading in kilometres)

    2016 International Prostar (STK#221090) | Peterbilt Manitoba Ltd.

    You would have to research import duties and etc, but it might be worth it.
     
    Intothesunset and Ridlingdj Thank this.

    That certainly isn't a $50K truck.

    You can find you some older iron with dt60 but also buy you a large set of tools . If I was gonna buy a truck it would be a glider with dt60 , either low miles or new . 65g to 75g can get you a newer Cascadia with apu with new tires and 300k to 400k miles on odometer. Pick your poison it's a little rough out there but doable.
