I didn't see a "wanting to buy" section, just a "for sale by owner" so I decided to post this in here.

I'd like to buy an International 9800. I've wanted one for years, but its hard to find one. And now that the newest ones are 10 years old, not many companies will let you lease one on. I'm working for Heartland now, and from what I'm told they don't have an age limit on trucks, just safety requirements.

Here's what I'd like to have:

A 98 or 99 International 9800. (They made very few in 99.) I's like an Eagle interior package, with the ProSleeper (if they are an Eagle, they have the pro sleeper).

Cummins or Detroit power.

13 speed or higher transmission (13 is the preferred one).

Full condo sleeper (double bunk not necessary).

Something that has been taken care of.

I'm not looking for an old JB or Schneider truck as you can tell. Most of these had low, low power and weren't very well taken of even as company trucks. I want something an O/O bought and spec'ed and took care of.

I've looked at everything on truckpaper, but most of them have been used and abused. Also, 9800 is the set-back axle (which I prefer) but I would buy one with the forward axle if I found a nice one.

Thanks for the help. Please let me know where one is.

See you on the road.
