$7k for semi with 250,000 miles

[longbow]

Lease turn in, just passed dot inspection. Tires and brakes are new. It's a Volvo sleeper. I'm sure I can figure out something to do with it.

Or a pickup truck with all kinds of towing capacity.

That's an amazing deal. I have thought about running grain in the fall to pick up extra cash. That would be a good way to get into it.

That's way too cheap. 250k in a semi is barely broken in. Does it have an engine?

If it's as presented, you should be able to flip it for pretty big money.

What year and what engine?

 

[dprimm]

No rust as it was in Texas (Houston) for local haul only?

That is just a cab put on a pickup frame. I like the idea though. It's a Volvo sleeper. Those are fugly.

You need a classic to make a pickup look right.

If it's lets say a 2010, it could be a maintenance problem child. Some trucks have major, unsolvable emission equiptment nightmares. We had one in 2012. It was a Volvo with their 13 liter engine. It spent more than 6 months in the shop that year. Every shop from Indy to Grand Rapids. Yes it was warranty work but it was never fixed right. If it hadn't been under warranty, the (attempted) repair bills were over $40,000. The entire DPF, EGR and DEF systems were replaced at least once.

Finally we sent the truck back to our main garage and not sure what they did with it.

I'm going to look at it next week and will verify a few more things.

[cosmos556]

I for one am looking forward to seeing more about the deal of the year.

Take somebody with you and make sure you are both armed. This deal just sounds too good to be true.

If it's legit then there is a problem somewhere. People aren't normally in the market of selling things way below value unless it's not theirs to begin with, there is a problem they aren't telling you about, or they aren't intending on actually selling you the item.
There are good deals out there, but there is also something to be said for playing it safe, passing on something that could put you in harm's way, and living another day.
