Found my new truck

Unread post by CAT345C »

I went to 8 dealerships today, from Fowlerville to Farmington Hills and turns out the truck I was looking for was 2 miles from my house at Bob Saks Lyon Twp. Its a 2007 Sierra 2500HD Duramax with the Allision Transmission. Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 with the Leather Seats and center console. Its got 20,000 on the odometer, and new tires. Its a steal at $31,595 minus the money i'll get for my truck now I"m getting it for 23,595. Heres a picture of it, Hopefull by Monday I will be driving around in it. Gotta get a few things to clear at the bank, and have to get them to cancel off the old loan from the 1500 err pay it off fully what ever they do.

For ConrailMike, I checked out the frame and the whole bottom of it, it all looks to be in mint condition.

Mike,

Just my two cents worth, but you will find that feeding that beast is going to hurt your budget with Diesel fuel being over $4.00 a gallon. A good friend of mine has one, and with only getting fifteen MPG, he is seriously considering selling it.

Don't take me wrong. I think it's a great truck. My friend make over $100,000 a year, and says the darned thing is too costly to run. Over $100.00 for a fill-up is ridiculous.

Uh Mike, isn't that a rather drastic method to get a new set of wheels? :D
I used to get paid for doing what all of you like to watch!

I'm sure Mike is trying to avoid spending it all within a year. I HOPE!
I hope he will take very good care of that truck.
Like the RoadRunner, I run for trains!
