    Good drive train depending on what you will use it for .
    Downside is cheap cab build ...dashes and gauge clusters break up ...doors rattle ...hard to find parts for .

    Will be using it to pull flatbed. Can get it for $6500. Decent price?

    I have two trucks now and picked up some direct freight and need another truck to run that account alone. Other two trucks are tied up. Would a 1999 freightliner century be a better choice? Has N-14 also.

    I have a 99 W900L and 99 fld now. Fld has gave far less problems than the w900. I will keep looking around for options. Thanks for the input.
