We actually bought our truck at the German company EXCAP www.excap.de, which is specialized in buying used STEYR 12M18 trucks from the Austrian military and totally refurbishing them, including the drivers’ cabin. You get an almost better than new truck. Our truck had only 69,000 KM on the clock when we bought it from EXCAP, which is nothing for a diesel engine.
