Gambi80 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 How's that work with importing a truck though? I know it's only Canadia, but still I thought that was more trouble than it's worth.

I know it's only Canadia, but still I thought that was more trouble than it's worth.they told me they would bring the truck and all paper work to the states, and take care of every thing. it would be no more trouble to me than a local purchase???????????

Anyway, I didn't think it was that easy. If you think you can make it work, go for it. Do your part to help your president bring unemployment down in this country. If I was single/no kids and was given a truck with some serious horsies and loooong legs, I wouldn't mind going OTR occassionaly...get out of IL anyway and get paid to do it.

Gambi80 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hmm...$12,000 discount 9 months later...too bad that doesn't happen when you have something else 9 months later... I wonder why you'd put 10 durabrite$ on though...?Funny how it works...that 2004 Vision the dealer was trying to sell to me for $39,000 2 months ago is now 'on sale' for $29,000...the price I offered originally. Maybe I'll go offer him $23,000... Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
