this truck is way too expensive, but there are many problems with shopping yourself for a western truck that's 1,500 - 3,000 miles away from you. if you don't have the time to drive the truck back home you're looking at $3,000 to have it shipped. I have read a bunch of stories about vehicles that have been seriously damaged by careless loading & unloading, and that would be a huge bummer.
this place in VA has its own tractor-trailer - they drive out West and return with 3 diesel pickups. it looks like they detail each truck, buy new tires and service it thoroughly prior to listing it. obviously they're charging for all that, but it may be worth it for someone like me who's actually looking for a bone-stock truck that belonged to a grandpa. the drive from VA home is less than 8 hours.
