RE: class 8 trucks

Here is my class 8 Freightliner Columbia. 360/470 HP Detroit S60, 10 speed, double frame, 24' box. 70" integral air ride cab/sleeper, jake brake. Got it as a repo last June for $56k with only 55k miles on it. It has been working perfectly.

Here's a pic of our Class 8 (2001 Freightliner Classic)
Purchased it last summer as a Repo also. It even came
equipped with the reefer and liftgate.

RE: class 8 trucks

That is a sweet looking truck, I have seen you on the road a few times! One thing that is nice about late model repos- one man's loss is another man's gain! Diamler Chrysler Credit has so many right now, they are starting to get a little more liberal with the down payments and financing. Best of all, if purchased from an authorized dealer, you can't be ripped off on the asking prices as DCCC will only finance the trucks at what their market value for the model year is. This is one advantage to working with Freightliner and DCCC if you are looking for a used or repo'ed class 8.

RE: class 8 trucks

Thanks for the compliment Weave ! We felt it was definately
worth the wait for the Repo than going new. Now that we've
seen a pic of your great looking Columbia, we'll keep an eye
out and give ya a holler on the radio someday.

:) BigFoot & LilFoot :)

RE: class 8 trucks(Weave and Lil Foot)

With those longer wheel bases and steers further out front, those trucks HAVE to ride sweet I'm guessin? (**sigh** and dreamin...LOL) Any tall person like me (6 foot 4) would have to have more headroom in those too.... ya never forget those headshots bouncing off the ceiling over ruts in my FL70. :( I've had my eyes crossed for me more than a few times.
