I am not shy about saying that I paid $15,000 US for my 1078. Before I purchased it, I saw it sell at auction for $7700 + buyers premium+ transportation as a non-runner. The buyer flipped it to me with a clean AZ title, 4 new batteries, turret cover, 5 high tread Goodyear MVTs, functioning CTIS, no loose alternator, no loose fan, lube order complete, comm rack changed out for a third seat, functioning cab tilt, spare deploy, cab air shocks, all electrical works, and a warranty. To me it was worth the money not to "discover" its character defects out in the Arizona desert.
