Sold the 2004 C4500 today
...to the father of PBR series bull rider Matt Bohon. http://www.matt-bohon.com/ The truck will be used to haul rodeo bulls in its new life.
I bought the truck in spring 2007 with 20K miles, and in a little under two years, rolled on an additional 115K miles, nearly 100% towing miles mostly boats cross country. The truck saw both coasts many times, and many of the Canadian provinces as well.
In those miles,
Truck depreciated in value (buy price vs sell price) by $15K, while generating ~200K in gross revenues. Fuel/lube costs were ~60K. Consumable part costs (tires, brakes, etc.) were ~5K. Other repairs (not covered by warranty) were under $3K total.
- two sets of injectors were replaced under warranty by GM;
- new rear brake pads and rear seals were installed at 130K;
- all six tires and shocks were replaced at ~120K;
- two exhaust seals and an exhaust manifold were replaced, I attribute all to heavy and constant use of the exhaust braking system.
Very pleased with overall service of this truck.
