The umpteen millionth what do ya think thread...

Sorry I know this gets tiresome but I need some pricing opinions. I'm headed down to the dealer with my fine tooth comb tomorrow and before I start digging in too deep I'm curious if $50000 with 2yr/200k warranty on engine is a little steep for the truck. So what I know so far is the dealer doesn't have the maintenance records so I will have to hunt down the previous owner/s. From what I can tell the exterior is in perfect condition and the interior aside from a little aging in the vinyl(flaking) is in good condition. Is it ready for a retirement home or could I probably get a few good years out of it before it blows up? I would go the route of a fleet truck but they're like rental cars and I know what I do to a fleet truck. Let the flaming commence

It will be pulling 53' reefers through the southeast and Midwest loaded anywhere from 75-80 on a regular basis with some minor hills and the occasional monteagle run.

 

44500 for the truck and 4500 for the warranty...

 

thanks for the heads up.

 

2005 sorry thought I picked it up with the cutnpaste of specs.

 

Either way pretty much answers my question. Thanks folks.
