    Depends on...

    Year
    Engine
    condition
    mileage traveled
    has it been abused
    what will it be used for
    brake condition
    tire brand
    amount of fuel used
    insurance costs
    toll costs
    still a bunch of other factors as well most likely.

    I have two lego ones and a model KW T600B. One is a lego racer i think with custom dual trailers. no machbox, or garage. The garage is a good idea. Now i know what to do with my dad 2night!

    Yeah, the newer KWs don't need much more engine matinence because of the cab power.

    Maybe he meant "KW's don't need much maintenance anymore, because they have CAT Power." Because that's about right.:biggrin_2559:
