    That burgundy Int truck doesn't look so bad on the exterior,and for that price not bad deal. But if something is wrong with it $15,000 out the window is ALOT... Are you running it local? I'd be weary of taking a truck (2nd hand) that age too far away from the shop...

    Yeah I would just be running local. I haul containers and was just looking for a decent truck around 20,000 and this is really close to my house. My only concern was the auto transmission I have heard horror stories about them.

    Perfect! I'd have it checked out as much as possible and I'd get it. That's a good deal if its ok.

    My last truck was a Volvo 770/,2001/ Detroit D60 ,,,,10 speed automatic,(3 pedals)ex US Express truck. The reason I sold it was ,the automatic transmission, I bought the truck in Jan 2004, run it until June 2007, wasted lots of $$$ for trany repairs towinngs downtime. In 07 I got a new Volvo 780 with Eaton 13 manual, I have 1,120,000 miles and the only expenses so far are 3 oil changes . I would never again buy a used automatic truck.

    but if you hate them why would you think about buying one?
