Ive heard Arrow truck sales is a good outfit, however i've never shopped them.

I'd love to hear of some real life experiences from Arrow.
I looked at Arrow twice. Drove 100+ miles to look at a 150,000 mile truck. It had 500,000 miles on the odometer. The salesperson shrugged and said thats ECM miles.
A few years later I looked at some US Express Volvos. Arrow's idea of detailing was to over- Armoral everything. The bunk was moldy.... But shiny !
Curious if they're Select Trucks in disguise .

I'm seeing some 550,000 mi trucks for sale for 65k-ish. Yeah, that's high.

Used truck prices are high.
New truck prices are higher.
Also,some usual new truck people are looking used because of high cost new, new engine problems and credit tightening.
Supply and demand issues.

Are the $65,000 used trucks $130,000 new trucks ?
Five year old 500,000 mile trucks at 50% of replacement cost is pretty normal isn't it ?
I always figure that truck is $10,000 too high so dealer can pretend to give you $10,000 more than your trade is really worth.
