Best Place to get a CXT
Ive decided on an International CXT for work and marketing related reasons. I have talked with a few international dealers here in Socal. Id like to get an 06 off a lot somewhere so I dont have to wait till after the 1st of the year if I order one of the 07' emissions models.
I have checked Ebay and the going price there seems to be about 80K roughly(same with truck trader)
Im more interested in a full service or TRAC lease than a purchase for tax reasons so Im leaning more toward that option rather than buying the truck str8 up from a 3rd party.
Any Ideas guys?

Im sure you have your reasons, but why on earth would you want one. They are so high up you cant really use the bed, it would be such a pain loading and unloading. You also cant tow anything with it other than a bumper pull trailer. The local international dealer here has had one every once in awhile that I have looked at when there for parts and in my opinion its too big to be used for anything reasonable.

I know all of that
The Truck will be used ONLY for marketing purposes
I have a buissness whose name and function goes extremely well with what the international stands for(statement vehicle that attracts lots of attention).
My buissness tends to have to be done marketing in small areas(25 -50 mile radius) @ a time since it is a mobile service industry.
I feel that using the CXT properly(painting it to my company logo and colors) and parking it in high traffic intersections will effectively and dramatically rasie the exposure in the areas I choose to park the truck thus increasing buissness.
follow me?

Part of the point. He gets to enjoy it, and write it off...
They are capable of towing a LOT, I have a friend that looked into getting one, The height was not an issue because he was having a gooseneck custom built to haul his dozer.

that really doesnt matter much to me. If I ever haul anything with it im sure the truck will have no problem(its not like I need to pull 30-40 tons anywhere)
and besides there are several engine options. they offer the DT570 with 310 HP and 800+ ft/lbs of torque.
but remember guys, this truck will be 99.9% a STREET MARKETING vehicle. very low mileage, mainly parked in areas to draw attention.

1 unit of my service typically goes for 2-5K
so basically if the truck pulled in 1 new client a month it would double the payment of the truck
only problem is it is a advertising avenue Ill be locked into for a few years.

Insurance will run about 2500$ a year since the mileage will be kept so low on the truck so again, negligable.
It makes sense(strangely enuff) to get one. I am letting it all hinge on what my accountant says. I may need to spend the $$ before the years end just so the govt wont take it from me. lol
