I think I might have found a truck

I found a 3500 C&C Reg. Cab 84" cab to axle Cummins 6-speed manual with an 11' electric dump body already installed on a lot in Mass.

I saw this truck early last year and it is a Pre Jan. 01 2007 truck (the exhaust break is not installed or activated - no button on the dash board).

It is a ST with 20/40/20 split vinal bench seat
- A/C
- manual windows/lock
- snowplow prep
- ST decor

It is over a year old so I'm sure it will need all the computer updates.
I am concerned it also has that problem that the early 6-speed manual trannies had with fluid level.

What do you guys think would be a good offer price for something that is sitting in the WAY back lot, all but forgotten, covered with snow? I'm thinking an offer of 30K just to get it off their lot.

I would think I could get it for a steal, but I am concerned that there may be big problems with a truck that has sat for such a long time.

Are my concerns valid?
