Heavymetal Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I had a call from my salesman a few days after ordering the new truck and he tells me that a demo just became available with 52k miles on it for 1/3 less then the one we ordered. The only problem is its red instead of dark blue good news it had been titled to their LLC so no FET and it also had been upgraded to disc brakes. As you can guess I grabbed it as fast as I could I figured for the money I saved I can have it painted. . 2016 Western Star 5700xe (Pathfinder) DD15 555hp w/12 speed automatic 3:05 diffs 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 38RLPK 2 Great Danes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickeieio Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Dang. Just yesterday we were discussing the pros and cons of painting the accents on the 5er dark blue, or painting the truck red. We need to trade trucks. I'll throw in the smart to boot.

HERO Maker Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I like the red also it's just cheaper to paint the truck then the RV. In total agreement!

I got a major discount when I bought my last pick up because it was red.. great buy ! I went by a friends body shop and in his opinion it would not only be cheaper to do a wrap on the truck but it would not hurt the resale value because it comes right off and the major plus is you can do what ever design and colors you want.. 2016 Western Star 5700xe (Pathfinder) DD15 555hp w/12 speed automatic 3:05 diffs 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 38RLPK 2 Great Danes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
