MBE engines are not well liked. Probably on the bottom of the totem pole of the offerings out there.
Ultra shifts are not nice for inching, that add says they have the auto shift though which still has a clutch. They are fine for a driver who doesn't like to shift, lower resale though.
I think with the brand, color, engine, and transmission you just about found the most undesireable truck out there haha. But the price shows it. Truck with just over 500,000 miles, 2007, for $17,500. If you wanted a T800 with those miles, that year and a 430 C13 with a 10 spd manual you might want o add 20-30k to that price.
How much work are you looking to do with it. They could be just the right deal for you.
There isn't anything wrong with a the Sterling or the MBE's outside of resale. They quit building the sterling which hurts it's resale but the Sterling is a Freightliner under the skin. The difference in trucks is 'cost of operation'. Yep pay $35k for a KW or Pete and get 5-6 mpg. Spend $10k less and get a lighter weight truck with better mpg.
As for my post today about my semi break down, I lost an airline.
Opinions on these sterling trucks?
