My last few haven't required that kind of maintenance during the time I have owned them. I haven't had the same front end troubles others have had either so maybe that is where my low money input into them was. I do think finding a 20K dollar under 100,000 mile truck in great condition would be tough. Probably more along the lines of 25-30K. Also, I am not sure I could get into a brand new 40K truck with a Cummin's right now, even bare bones. All of the ones I saw when looking and dealing through Lou Fusz whole sold them at 3% under invoice were still in the 42-45K range.
