    Been leasing this 2017 workstar 7600 for the past 7 years. It's coming off lease with the option to buy. Only sketchy part is I'm worried about the lifespan of the N13. The truck has 380k miles. Never had any engine problems and it's been well maintained the entire time.

    Any input on this engine would be great. Thanks

    If you’ve been the one driving it and been involved with the maintainace all that time and you know it’s in and outs and know it’s a solid truck I wouldn’t think twice about buying it.

    You are nearing the end-of-life for many components such as DOC, SCR, DPF and EGR valve. Turbo waste gate and exhaust back pressure valves are also due to start seizing up about now. Remember, it isn't always about mileage, but time also. Nox sensors also do not last forever, so you could be facing some major and rather numerous big dollar parts failures in the near future if they haven't already been replaced.
