car hauler info

got a chance to buy a possible car hauler... just need a little input... here's the skinny

1999 International 4700 Truck, DT466 engine, 230+hp, 250K miles, 5 Speed Manual, single axle of course, Short wheel base with a tow body on it. miles out at about 72mph, super clean interior and body is 8 out of 10.

according to the guy it was a 'single owner' lease truck and the only company to have used it was a delivery company. it drives out really nice and seems to be a good truck... but i've never bought a 'big' truck before? $8,500 will buy it.

btw... i'm just pulling about 8K pounds in a 24' tag. i usually pull with a suburban locally... but road trips kick the burbs ass. thanks

 

I HAVE A 4700 CONVERTED TO MOTORHOME, TOWS EXCELLENT, VERY STABLE, WE TOW A 30 FT TAG.MINES GOT 300K ON IT,HAD JUST A FEW PROBLEMS, WATER PUMP,SMALL STUFF LIKE THAT.MUCH BETTER THAN THE 3/4 TON SUBURBAN WE HAD
