THIS WEEK'S top truck is a 2010-registered Mercedes-Benz 2546 MegaSpace MP3.
It is being sold by the Bradford site of the Mercedes dealer Northside Truck and Van for £45,995 (plus VAT), and comes with eight months warranty until November 2013.
The Euro-5 engine is the 11.96-litre V6 unit, which produces 460hp and 2,200Nm torque. It also has the 12-speed fully automated PowerShift transmission and has a sliding fifth wheel.
With 196,000km on the clock, it's been on a full repair and maintenance package. Moreover, the truck has had seven new tyres put on it. The flat floor MegaSpace cab has twin bunks; it has the full electric pack and central locking.
Although the new Actros is becoming more common on UK motorways, there is still plenty of sentiment for the outgoing version of the truck. It is a popular and proven lorry, which is reflected in its asking price.
This truck is perfect for an operator looking to upgrade emission level standards, and there is enough on the warranty to tempt even the most cynical buyer.
