It is 10 grand less, has 100K more miles. to me that is a win, it is a better truck.
you could put that 10K in a fund for an overhaul and be miles ahead.
What do you think about this truck?

"Just walk away Renee" (from the Sterling). Tooooo pricey to say the least.
The T600 that MrBeast posted is OK, but those trucks have some pretty tight cabs. If you're going to be running team, look elsewhere. -
I was just getting ready to say that it's nothing more than a Ford, lol. Over priced and #### ugly to boot.

i think sterlings were some of the best trucks made ever period. However, you can get a similar sterling truck for much less.
Hint: Try ryder and/or penske (pesky). -
The only application I'd buy a Sterling for was a daycab application. Finest trucks ever made? I would beg to differ. They're not terrible trucks, but nothing fantastic, either. One thing which annoys me is their tendency to put sand channels on the brakes of their vocational trucks... for most applications, they were largely unnecessary and had the extra woe of holding in heat, rather than letting the brakes vent properly and cool down.
Maintenance wise, I've found them to be not too terrible comparatively (but this was for daycabs.. I can't tell you anything about their sleepers). However, the Sterling line ended production in 2009, and the sleeper cab trucks weren't very commonplace. Something worth keeping in mind when you think about having to buy replacement parts up the road.
One other gripe I had was their cheap dash. When you push in the tractor protection and air supply valves, you need to baby them - otherwise, the bracket holding them in place breaks, and you end up having to fabricate something on your own (because the factory part was utter crap to begin with, so why in the hell would you buy another one?).
Very spacious daycabs, though. Great feature for if you're having to work in a team with someone else. I was able to fit a good sized cooler with bottled water and two people (granted, they were short, but still) in there and we were all still pretty comfortable. -
yeah 1600 is about it ..... or did you mean 16 dollars

to the poster , look harder and you will find much better used equipment for the same price. -
