Hello Folks and I am requesting some opinions/knowledge. I have searched for this info and could not find much of anything concerning the MAN KAT series of vehicles. I have a potential purchase of a 1989 MAN KAT1 4x4 5 ton truck, the truck is an EX-German Army with currently 21K miles on it, the owner says the truck is 100% mechanically and the tires are about 85% life left on them. I have done some research on the truck but have been unable to find a decent source for parts, well for that matter not even a good source for filters? Obviously if I cannot find a good source for parts this deal is not going to happen. Does anybody have any opinions or experience with these trucks and what the status of parts availability in the USA is? If you do and have a few seconds please let me know your thoughts, I know there are a lot of you with a LOT more experience on the do's and dont's on these trucks and if its a terrible truck and you would never own one please let me know!
Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge!
