And I paid $107,000 for it. 8)  But, good deal anyway! 8) Except that real Paccar, has a CAT in it! :P I know, i know, you were looking for Cummins... :roll:

As far as your $115,000 Pete, you overpaid. Mine cost a lot less than that when I bought it last year. Just sayin.

You could also get an ex-Schneider International 9800 and old dog reefer trailer. It may not be pretty to look at or go fast but it'll make money and you can pay it off fast and own it outright

That's why i buy it new, and get it money worth, before i'll have to replace it. Those "twins", got me close to 400 grand in revenue, so far, and counting...(knock on the wood)!

Brand new 379 with a Cummins, 10 spd, 63" sleeper: $119,450 Brand new 379 with a Cat, 10 spd, 63" sleeper: $117,200 Total number of NEW 379's available with a Cummins: 21 Total number of NEW 379's available with a Cat: 332 Total number of NEW 2006 379's with a Cummins: 6 Total number of NEW 2006 379's with a Cat: 77 What does this say? That Cat's are a dime a dozen, and Cummins are hard to come by, and are in high demand. I know this firsthand, as the original truck I had money down on (which had a Cummins) was sold out from under me by the dealership, while the trucks with Cat's sat festering on the lot. Not to mention that the extended warranty on the Cummins is a heck of a lot cheaper than on the Cat. :lol:
