storkmack Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I called about one this AM that is heading that way. The owner was upset, but he needed to sell it. I informed him that rebuild and reuse our Macks. That didn't help how he felt. Once again, I was a day late.

fullfuel01 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I had one nice R model for sale once. all aluminium budd, 2 stacks, nice pant job. An African buying junk CH wanted the old R model but he explained me that it was not for work. The rich guy buying all the CH in Africa wanted a 'show truck'... sounds really weird at first but it look like there is a least one guy there that care about his Mack..

JTFormula Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Usually they buy cheap junk. This thing would bring big money over there. Let's hope its not going to an abused fleet truck.

thomastractorsvc Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Wasn't that truck like $25K or $30K, wonder if it sold for a lot less than that, maybe someone on here would have bought it, if he got full asking price guess it doesn't matter where it goes if they pay full asking price, would be nice though to have stayed here. Maybe it is going to Europe by way of Africa. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Marcel67 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 What a shame! But them paying $25 to 30k for that truck don't think so, the most have gotten it cheap.

b61mack Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 That truck was a Gearharts last year, I think his name is Rod Good. I was drooling all over it, I think I went to look at it 5-6 times that Saturday. it has a big sleeper like Mike Harbisons Superliner, glad I got pictures of it when I did, beautiful truck hate to see it go overseas.

My agent is expecting soon so he can assure proper loading.You may have noticed that the check was for a higher amount than was agreed upon. my assistant misunderstood as I was making several purchases at the timePlease be so kind as to return the overage at your earliest convenienceSincerely, Obi Won Kenobi 9 Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32926-nigeria-bound/#findComment-208742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg1 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I was supposed to go look at it on my way back from Macungie but my run got cut back to 3 days a week and I hated to spend that much right now.

Popular Post Superdog Posted September 28, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2013 I cant believe that truck is going overseas.I do not at this point want to sell mine if I do it would be to by another one and continue this vicious cycle we all ride on my question is is there a NORTH AMERICAN market to get $25000 for that truck.I wanted to buy that truck for my son,but "it's a nice truck,but R models aren't cool enough,hood's too short" . Damned kids today,anyway. I know this is easy to say now,but I would have pAID $25K FOR IT IN A HEARTBEAT. I'm certain it was $30 or 35K he was asking when I was considering it. The scary part for me anyway is that if they have started to buy up nice stuff like that,none of our trucks will be safe anymore. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32926-nigeria-bound/#findComment-208752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
