Should I buy a 2007 peterbilt 387?

I am just saying you have to have an answer for the "what if" scenario if it actually does happen. Maybe if you have good personal credit and have a large line of credit available then that could be something you can fall back on IF NEEDED. You don't necessarily need to have stacks of cash in the bank waiting for the "what if" ... but you do need to have a plan ...

 

I bought a 2006 387 with 272000 genuine miles on it. Nice looking truck but unfortunately it needed a lot of work and repairs. I bought it from a so called reputable dealer in San Antonio TX. so it would be a mistake if you buy a truck and you have no $$ for repairs if needed. Buying a used truck is a crapshoot at best. I certainly learned by my mistakes but I had a lot of money in reserve to take care of the problems. Now it runs really well and I love the truck. It has a ISX 450 Cummins and luckily Im making decent $$ hauling chemicals. You have to get the truck checked out and with that mileage, who knows whats wrong with it.
You maybe lucky and have no problems at all, but you can't take that chance.

 

I have an 07 with an 06 Cat engine. The truck is great, no complaints. The engine is strong, avg fuel is usually 7.1 but ive idled a lot so its lower this winter. I replaced the head because the water pump failed, it got hot an cracked. Replace 3 intake valve actuators, which i guess is a yearly repair, and one injector.
