Iveco Magirus Opinions

[DarkBladeRunner]

Hi guys (and gals),

I'm having trouble gathering information on Iveco Magirus Trucks. Specifically 1980s models 90-16 and 170d11.

Do any of you have ressources/opinions to share regarding:

• Parts availibility of Engines in North America and the World
• Parts availibility of other mechanical components in America and the World (suspension, brakes, etc)
• Parts availibility of Body items in North America and the World (windshield, doors, fixtures, switches, etc)
• Thoughts on purchasing a 1980s former fire truck with low KMs
• Things to look out for
• Overall reliability and cost to operate

I'm finding mostly german sites and those, even with google translate, can be quite difficult to navigate.

Cheers!

Good luck!

Did. Only 90-16 parts available for lifting them...

On a bright note: I've finally pulled the trigger on purchasing the truck. see my other thread:

Curious what motivated you to choose the iveco over a Mercedes?

Combination of price + air cooled (much simpler engine) + there is a Deutz service center near my house.
