What are the things to look out for if buying a used car transporter?
For example this one - ebay.co.uk/itm/Scania-124-42 … 368wt_1074
That looks to me like it would benefit from a refurb and there’s not enough life left in the truck to justify it. Unless you’re specifically looking for LHD there will be a premium in that price because of the suitability for export.
In my opinion you could only really be looking at outfits of that age that have seen that much use if you could do the work on them yourself and parts availability was known to be ok.
Don’t know what you’re situation is but, if you’ve got a unit and looking to dip your toe into car transport why not try it first with a trailer with a shortened peak?
Ye steer clear i had a 03 Atego pretty good shape no dings or dents, comeing back down M25 the electric strap went pop took all electrics lucky i didnt catch fire crept into thurrock i new it was bad and pricey to replace parts, so top n tail truck went, its what lays beneath you have to look out for mate, Lesson learned for me.
