    Don't buy a garbage truck, freightliner, Volvo, thats garbage. I've got a 97 W9 pushing 2 million miles and the dash doesn't rattle or squeak.

    Thanks! Pics at a distance really do it justice lol. It's in good shape but not perfect. The interior is in great shape and the cab is tight. Not your typical old junky abused 20 yo truck it has been taken care of.

    There are no cons as long as you can maintain the truck.
