the basic R cab does not put them off altogether." Chris Wright
Chris Wright is MD of Commercial Vehicle Auctions at Doncaster. At sales held twice a month, CVA has a throughput of between 160 and 200 trucks, 80-150 trailers and various items of plant machinery. Wright also conducts sales around the country at customer's premises.
"Obviously the price you pay depends on condition and the mileage," says Wright, "but the Scania 124s we have had through here have sold fairly well. Some of the imported 4-Series have different specifications, but customers like the six-cylinder engine nominally rated as a 12.0-litre, and even the basic R cab does not put them off altogether. In general, lots of power and a big cab makes for some competitive bidding.
"We haven't seen too many Scania 6x2 units lately but there were two 4x2s in our last sale that were in tip-top condition. Both were X registered 2001 models. One sold for £37,000 and the other for 139,500," he says.
