The truck is used but in good condition and well maintained. Before we moved in we installed new springs and shock absorbers. When the truck was moved more regulary, a couple of problems came up, but we took care of all of them. Thereby we installed a new clutch, new steering rods, and several new sealings in the front axle. All this repairs were done by a Steyr specialist in Austria.
Since then the truck is running without any problem.
