I stopped in and looked at it, last month. Did they come off the $53,000 that they were asking for it?

I did have a steering box problem and was scared of the cost that was quoted. 1000.00. But after the repair I was in high heaven, cost 23.16.

Well I guess they did. I paid 29,950.00 for it. First they were asking 32,000.00 but the salesman came back and said they are going to offer it to me at the 29,950.00 price.

LOL....They must have one qoute for people whom have trucks already under a lease contract and another for those with out! A steering gear box cost's about $680 plus the labor to instal. I just put one on my truck last week. :tears::tears::tears:

Yes if they had to replace the steer box it would have cost 650.00 plus labor which I was told it would end up with a total of 1000.00. But it turned out the fluid line was lose and was leaking and only had to be tighten. I never saw it leak so I did not know other than I had to place some fluid in it the day before.

You were very lucky on that gear box, coastie. I replaced a gear box on one of my trucks about 2 years ago and I believe the gear box was just under $600. I will take a hose or clamp any day. :thumbsup:

Well they knew I had a truck already and was leased on to a Company. I dropped in there in the Freightliner.

maybe they thought you were trading and added the trade in amount to the truck like some dealers do

Maybe. I stopped in to Arrow Trucksales there back around the first week of April. When they said $53,000 for that truck, I lost interest.

I was planning on rebuilding mine until they gave me the cost. Parts were not very much, but labor would have been about as much as buying the new gear box, providing I had a mechanic do the work. It probably cost less to just buy the box and put it on rather than rebuilding the one that was on the truck. |
