| I am looking for a Kenworth W900 A model that is road ready. Prefer a day cab but will look at others. Anyone have one or know of one for sale? Thank you. |

Floyd County, Iowa | Wrong forum.
Put it in the Classifieds or "Where Can I Find".
You've only had 3 posts here, and all 3 are trying to buy a Pete. Hint.

Central ND | Truckpaper is a place to start, a budget may help too but be prepared to pay up, clean 900a and 359's bring stupid money |

Pierce county WI | Oh, I don't know, there's a guy on Minneapolis Craigslist that advertises wanted Peterbilt 359 and 379 trucks paying up to $10000................ Oh, must be cat powered. Do you think anybody sells him any? Selling old trucks is the most frustrating thing in the world. When I sold the 352 I had a guy call me wanting to see it on a cold winter Saturday. So I heat the shop, make our plans to stay home. Guy comes looks it all over and says I wanted to show my grandson a truck just like I used to drive............... I'm so glad I could help you out with that. Then you get the will you finance guys. I put tons of new parts in my 359. It had sat for years, and I got it back up and running. A kid offered me $32k for it, and then says it actually isn't that nice because I had to fix it so much that you shouldn't have to. Do you really think running 40 year old trucks up and down the road otr that you aren't going to fix them? If you can't wrench on old trucks, don't buy old trucks. Plenty of late model cascadias with autos for those truckers! Another guy wanted to know what it gets for mileage. I told him it's an exhd flat top with a mechanical cat. Should get 10mpg if you keep your foot out of it..................... |

SW Ohio | Me too, but it doesn't have to be nice, my B model gives we plenty of wrenching practice.
Maybe Donny would sell you his? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfGS3-E5e-E NOT |

Tomball,Texas | There aren’t as many A Models around as 359’s,hope you find what you want. |

west central illinois | I know of a fully restored A model for sale but doubt $50,000 would buy it |
|
| |
|
IA | If it's fully restored I bet the owner has more than 50 in it. |

Truck paper is like TractorHouse, way over priced on a lot of stuff. Depending on location, Facebook market place is a much better place to look. Have seen a quite a few A’s on there in the last month. |

Central ND | That's true but if you want to find a clean road ready 900a it's going to be overpriced, it's like looking for a unicorn...... |
|
| |
|
SC KS | Lol that is true! However I found a w900A with an A model with a 13 speed, road ready with good tires and breaks just north of Kansas City for $13k. Deals can be found, it’s just a matter of finding them at the right time and getting it before the next guy lol |

Frytown, Iowa | 7 million miles over 52 years is 135,000 miles
Per week with 2 weeks down for vacation or repairs is 2700 miles
Is this realistic for a semi? If he drove 5 days a week and averaged 55 mph that’s 10 hrs every day it’s on the road for 52 years

Central ND | That's dedication for sure......I have a friend that has a driver that did 185,000 last year though, his goal was 200,000.......that's only one year though, not 52 lol |
|
| |
|
| 135,000 a year would be no big deal. If a young guy was serious about it 11-1200 miles a day was more than doable 20 years ago. The government was not so watchful then.
I bought a truck that had averaged 35 miles an hour from the date of manufacture until the day I bought it. FYI that is 306600 miles a yea |

| Take $30k for this one. Big cam 13spd cold a/c
