    No worries sir, all good info. In your market that would be retail also. I don't know how they expect people to pay full retail but you can only test drive in a 10mph parking lot and not take it to anybody. No service records available, no way to take it to a mechanic? They sell them tho. Maybe sell one to me...
    Thanks again sir!

    No service records, no test drive and can't take it to a outside shop for inspection .....

    I wouldn't touch it...

    But if you must I'd low ball them. Show up with a certified check for less than the asking price and tell them take it or your walking ....

    You guys mean they won't let you take it for a test ride around the block? Or to a third party mechanic shop? Do they at least offer 60 days warranty or something ?

    As is where is. You can test drive around their yard, I could barely get it into the top range. No service records, nothin.

    So decision time.
    2007 T600 C15 13sp. 480k miles
    It is going to cat tomorrow for an ECM download, oil sample, blow by test.
    $30000.
    OR

    2012 Columbia glider 12.7 detroit 10sp 400k miles. Asking $58000 I think I can get it for $50000. Can't drive it other than the parking lot, can't take it any where for testing. As is where is. I guess both trucks are as is where is, but t600 I can get tested. I'm doing this from 1000 miles away so it's a little difficult but that's what I have to do.
    What would you guys do? I'm leaning towards the T600. No a fan of the narrow cab but it's probably a better built truck, will be worse on fuel for sure, but it's over $20k cheaper. I can buy it cash almost. Opinions appreciated.

    If they only let you test the glider...the 2007 does not have that Dpf does it? If it is only with Egr then it is ok. If the egr is not working smooth, then the egr system should be let go.
