    Hello everyone
    I'm been looking to buy my first semi truck, there's a Freightliner cascadia 2015 DD15 455 HP automatic transmission (Eaton)
    With 660,000 miles on it.
    25k
    Let me know if it's worth it, or should I look for a different semi.

    The question is subjective, you will get personal opinions more than a business answer.

    So here is a business answer - start with a dyno and blowby test, do an Oil Analysis on the engine, trans and rear axles, get a printout of the ECM dump - not a summary, go to the Freightliner dealer with the VIN and see what work has been done to the truck and what the original order is (they can print that all out for you) and get an independent mechanic to go through the entire truck.

    Before anything else I would want to no why the mileage is 240-280k less than average. Did it sit for a couple years. Maybe its was used by bed buggers.
    Or perhaps that odometer is incorrect?
