Sad, but try to find something as reliable and nice as that in todays market.  Something new would be double that and nothing but computer headaches.

For sure....Only knock on it ...550,000 miles and 5 spd?  So deduct 3g for salvage yd 6 spd. and 12,000 for engine and for 46g better than anything new you would buy.

Sounds like a lot of money but that thing looks immaculate even the bed doesn’t even look like they ever used it… I guess I would have to see it up close to be the judge but from the photographs it looks brand new  Bob

there are two 1999 CL 713 tandems going on auction here in two weeks. 

look like they just came off showroom floor. 

460 E-7 engines, 18 speed trans. heavy rears, almost new 12.00/24 rubber.

 the trucks are just as perfect looking as that single.

one has 47,000 miles on it, the other has 57,000 miles.

company was bought out by a very large outfit and they are selling everything because they don't like old.. 

we are going to look at and try to get some machinery. 

320 cat excavators with less that 300 hours on them. a 20 year old cat 434 roller with 130 hours on it. 

20 year old attachments that have never been used. 

this stuff will sell cheap i think because no one here likes old machines.

I saw those on the auction house's website. Those trucks are perfect. The lowboy tractor is the nicest. I bet all that stuff sells for a lot more than you are thinking. With online bidding that stuff is available to anyone with an internet connection and the used market for trucks and equipment is still insane right now.
