Buying a used reefer is tough. I kind of wish I got one of those Jevic reefers when they went up for auction.

I picked up a new one today that was a demo and had 4 hours on it (2008) but I'd like to get another in a few months.

some times too, the prices people are asking for used ones might as well get new. It's like the housing situation, the owners that won't drop the price because they can't face the reality of the market. Even with the trucks, I wanted to buy the truck that is part of group from which I got my other two, but they are still holding to the price from a year or two ago. Who in their right mind would pay $60,000 for a 2005 truck?

Someone who can't quite afford my $80,000 2004 Pete?

Sorry Rev, I of course meant for a 2005 Freighliner Columbia. I don't know anything about those Petes, of course I'm the one who says if I hit the Lotto, I'd redo the upholstery in my 9 year old car

Speaking of culinary, what happened to that weekly cooking show you were going to do. I need some more cooking ideas.
