They have fixed the timing gear issues, and the engines are solid. I-shift is a good transmission, a little bit pricey to maintain, but ok. These are likely to retain most value as well after 500k or 5yrs. if you have a reasonable maintenance schedule you are likely not going to have serious issues.Recently a friend of mine bought 5 of these and got a really good pricing 129k each, reasonably equipped.Btw trade-in values are relatively higher b/n 3-4 yrs, mileage doesn't matter that much. Depending on how you depreciate, maintain and use your equipment, in most cases, it is best to trade-in or sell after 2.5-3 yrs in pure financial terms, discounted cashflows.

Which model did he get for $129k and where?
