No offense but my banker would be flogging me for paying $28K for a 9 year old truck. Heck, she gave me a tongue lashing for paying what I paid for the truck in my signature when I bought it in 2010, and that was less than half what you paid, AND it only had 31,000 miles on it.

That's the market on used diesels these days, though, or at least that's the market on the desirable ones (I'm not naming names).

I shopped used trucks for quite awhile and ended up deciding it wasn't worth going with a used model unless I wanted to go with a gas truck. I paid $11k more for mine new than OP did used. Whether that $11k in savings is worth 8 years of use and 80k miles boils down to personal preference - I think either decision is reasonable depending on circumstances.

This is a good example of how diesels don't actually cost any more than gas trucks in terms of total ownership cost.

Congrats to OP - the reputation on that model is fantastic.

Congrats....

Congrats how about a photo :W

Thanks everyone. we have a 19cbxl powerlite that we been pulling with our half ton. We are thinking of upgrading to about a 26ft toy hauler now.

Congrats on the new to you truck.

Sounds like you got a good deal. It's crazy how well the diesels hold their value these days.

You stole it....You couldn't touch mine for that much or a lot more.
Great truck.

Definitely one of the best choices for a used diesel. Congrats, and wishing you many trouble free miles!

Good luck with the new to you truck!
