Over the years here I have come to understand that a person can get a pretty nice DP at reasonable price once they are 10+ years old. My question is, what kind of budget would it take to have a shop do all preventative maintenance, new tires, replace wear parts, renew suspension, steering, and air system as needed, etc.?
Assume no tag axle. Would $10K usually be enough to make it ship-shape? Or more than that? I'm not talking about finding unexpected powertrain problems. What would be a good budget for making it ready to roll problem-free for several more years?
I'd be for buying it right in the first place and yes, they are out there from someone meticulous and then having to sell outright, for whatever reason.
