I never thought I’d say this.
Try looking for a slightly newer MAN TGS. In maneuvering mode the gearbox on the MANs were slightly more forgiving than the same box in a DAF. The cab is better in build and finish too. And because MAN aren’t seen as a premium brand but for some reason DAF are, you might get something newer for the same money.
I cant give you mechanical reasons to do this though. Sorry.
