to pay off the remainder of the loan and also a couple of credit cards. I'll
be pretty much debt free."

Yup, got that email too.

Notice that the buyer lives in New Mexico and has never seen the truck up close, cranked it up, or taken it for a drive.

As i said before, a buddy of mine looked into buying this truck a couple of months ago (when none of the locals here would touch it) and after 30+ years of working on these trucks he turned it down.

Yeah the wheels are pretty and the paint is shiny...but only an amature buys a truck for those reasons.....

Looking to buy a truck?...check out the truck 'Tx Firefighter' just sold? Now that's a good buy!

btw, a couple of years ago a neighbor of mine worked at a body shop...he use to buy rust buckets and put a killer paint job on them and sell them to unsuspecting amatures....what a jerk!!!
