    I’m looking for a Kenworth W900 sleeper 86in, around $100,000 and am not sure where to shop. Does anyone have any suggestions. Everything is either way lower or way higher than I am looking to spend.

    I have an old W900L that I'd gladly let you pay 100k for!

    I’m sure there’s more .

    pre emission or post emission ?

    86” tall ?

    most sleepers are numbered by the length .

    and either flat top , or mid roof , or condo (full height )

    Not saying that these are a good deal, but they sure are easy to find. 20230630_164208.jpg 20230630_164054.jpg

    I’ll keep looking though truck papers and all the usual places. I wanted to find an old show truck or something.

    Just looked on FB marketplace , within 500 miles of my current location , Daytona Florida , there’s over 100 W-900s listed .

    finding one that’s been well maintained and is priced reasonably, will be where the work comes in .

    oil Analysis , inspection by a competent mechanic , dyno test for blow by , rig dig report , etc
    Some folks pull the rocker cover to look at the cam lobes , a wiped cam lobe is a $15k repair . And you can’t tell without pulling the rocker cover and looking at it .


    usually you have to go look at 18-25 rigs before you find one that’s worth buying.
     
    Bfr38 and Ericfrancs101 Thank this.
