    Im sorry you are going to pay too much for that gem.

    I like the truck but there are problems with the thing, but against the overall rig itself as it sits it's going to cost me a few thousand dollars to rectify some of those problems.

    If you do your maf over 45 months it's going to cost you 75000 give or take a little bit.

    That's twice what Ive taken trucks just like that across the auction block in Little Rock on truck sale days, two of which were really good enough for me to buy myself on the spot and I rarely want to buy something. Those two sold for roughly 32K and 30K each. They are very close to this one. Differences in sleeper and other fittings are essentially cosmetic.

    I dont know nothing about that 475 to be honest with you. I would want either a 600 CAT or a 515 minimum detriot in that. Call me a silver spoon on a beer budget but in the midwest power means less work over all those little hills.

    Sometimes you take the risk of spending too much for a pretty doll. Its the sellor who should be so lucky having bought that thing for 25 something at most.
