New 2007 Pre Emission Series 60 14L - AHMLLC - 01-04-2019
07 Columbia 140
Series 14 L
668k miles
I plan on buying this truck tomorrow and I need to know is there anything I need to check for specifically? I got the guy down to 12k and its a repo truck. Should i be wary?
What engine updates should I do as soon as I get the truck? Any help is good.

Break out your check book... Unless you own a shop and tools, and know how to use them... No clue what you are buying with the info you have given...
I have around $120,000 in my 2008 ProStar, not including lost wages and actual purchase price of said vehicle, but it was and still is a "special" truck. Good luck. And yes, I am drinking. But, the truck still has a clear title! LOL!

Repo'd trucks can be good or bad. Consider that the person was more than likely out of money and not doing any maintenance. If the shop that's selling thought it was in good shape they would want more ....that's the first and second red flags. Like waterloo said you must be able to work on it yourself, and you may have to work on it before it ever makes a penny ....... matter of fact you should plan on it.

For $12K consider it a scrap truck for parts. If it ends up being more than that consider yourself lucky. If it doesn't, you got what you paid for.

I went to see the trunk and the owner had tape around where the fuel tank cap should be.No deal

repo truck either 1 of 2 things basically - owner ran the truck into the ground which then inturn ran him into the ground.
or 2
owner took good care of it then got sick/died whatever... basically is what ied say the 2 points would be.
