You have to appreciate the effort Stavros goes to to make a simple driving & discussion video visually interesting, with no less than FOUR different cameras. Some trucker channels will just throw their phone on a suction mount and call it a day.

We finally had out new XF delivered last month after a 18 month wait on the build, they honoured the price of £89k when we ordered it. Dealer offered us £36k to just walk away from it. Shows how much the prices & demand has increased.

"a tree hit it." No. YOU hit a tree... lol

Its nice to see someone showing something for sale , and first showing the issues first , that's showing how honest you are 👍🏻

In malaysia a lot of recondition from Ireland truck , here we convert to 6x4 pull load between 60ton to 80ton load , in malaysia we remove adblue system and upgrade from 4x2 or 6x2 to 6x4 big hub reduction. Like this horsepower we pull very heavy load and use 4 years to 12 years

The air conditioning can be serviced. By removing refrigerant and replacing the drier and some other improvements your ac performance can be greatly improved.

I vote for sell and line up for a new DAF. Comfort from AC + Mirror-Cams would be worth the wait. 🙂

Not worth it mate you'll get more value running it in the fleet than you would selling it for a short term gain

Serious question Stavros, how are you guys surviving with the current fuel price? It must be very difficult to be fair.

Selling the truck is not economical. It is like selling a normal car at 20k km. It barely is broken in. Better put in a few grand to improve the truck. My thoughts.

IDK if I’d get rid of it. Pretty incredible MPG. Service all the issues. Extend warranty. She’s a keeper.

Keep the S580 For another 20 years

Totally agree with price list issue. Obviously if you’re a big fleet operator you’ll get decent deals but there should be a standard stock price then all options priced. You can go on to a car manufacturer and configure the car you want with the options you want etc and get price. You can buy the same spec truck on a Monday and a Tuesday and have different prices….

Keep scania will work out better in the long run..

Hi Stavros if you do Scania's online configurator you can get and estimated price to see about how much your lorry would cost. Volvo and Renault don't have one and MAN's and Mercedes is shocking but IDK if they give a price. DAF and Iveco's are decent (when they're not doing software updates) and Iveco certainly gives a price but DAF only gives a price for the older generation XF's before these new ones, I believe.

You should get some slightly bigger hose that is split and slide it up and around the area of the hose where it rubs then it won’t ever be an issue.

The price hike on the new DAF generation makes sense. Up until the last Euro6 XF they were still based on their 90's design from the very first XF. This generation is all new and more premium than they've ever tried to be. I see a decent amount of them on the roads already here in the Netherlands, so they must be doing something right there.

Excellent video love the different camera angles interesting to hear about the market in buying trucks I personally like the new daf I think it’s an awesome design and for the work you do I don’t be,ieve you need over 3000nm of torque looking forward to the next video

Great video, very interesting to hear some insider intel from a truck operator. But I have to ask...did the tree really hit your air horn?

A new 6x2 T High 520 for that price sounds neat.

The new Daf XG is a cracking piece of kit, ..How about an ex demo truck as they always seem to have the extras fitted and save on price rather than buy new...

Hi stavros. You can get airline jointers for your leaking airlines. It won’t be a permanent fix. It would do the job for a year or so.

Hey Stavros, I guess this truck is still worth being kept in Rory Lynch... Few repairs here and there and it's going to be fine. The air conditioning problem is really common in Scania trucks is really common and well, can be fixed with a detailed repair. But this truck still is a nice one:)

Hmm not sure but the FH turbo compound sounds to be good relative value.

You liked that DAF XF with the air suspension is that a option could you do a video on when your making your order take us too the dealership and when you go and pick one up

Wish we still had cab overs in the USA

Keep keep keep, can't see you driving a daft. I can see you in a Shania 770s xxl cab!😂😂

Stavros the NGD DAF is the way forward 👌👌👌👌

I saw an XG+ in California last week. It had a manufacturer plate on it, so I assume Paccar was testing something on it for the NA market. It looked REALLY out of place here.

Enjoyed the video chap..I can see you in a DAF XG+...Excellent

I have 11/2018 s500, having done almost 600k now. Things you have gone bad.. well, my mirror case rattles when i close the door. Thats it. About being too economical is that counter does not count milage after 100k, yet counts burned litres, so it calculates wrong. Just reset and you'll be fine.

Got a 2017 November registered Scania s500 high cab tag axle with 738,000kms on it and been told by the office that getting new Scania 660s high cab tag axle in July sometime apparently. Im also hitting that lane departure button every single time it goes off whenever it wants I swear. Also I find that the apple car play doesn’t even want to connect sometimes. Plug it in and doesn’t even charge or connect then I turn off the truck for 5-10 minutes then will plug in fine again. 😂 also I find the air con terrible hardly blows cold.

Hi stavos I think you should keep the scania s 580 for a littler while long. keep the great videos coming take care

Can you do a video on your cameras on the truck, amazing , how is it powered??

There is not a truck better value for money in the last 3 years than the Renault T-high, what's factored into that price which the other don't offer is the 4 year bumper to bumper warranty(atleast it is in Northern Ireland). New Evo is doing better on fuel too.

Sell now while you have the chance Stavros, would be nice to see a T-High 520 in RLT colours. A lot of truck for the money and a great truck at that.

It would be awesome to see Stavros driving a Renault T High Evolution or a DAF XG+ on a daily basis for RLT

Very honest review, thanks Stavros

Hello, the truck looks good, i will come in Irland next not for that one but for the old scanias. Greetings From Burundi .

The next gen scanias can be optimistic with range at one point the 2017 r500 6x2 i drive thought it did 500 km/l

You've answered your own question with a question

Selling may seem a great options but what you going to do when the business picks up later in the year

Watched your video for the second time brilliant. (just wanted to ask)? what is the make of the white video cameras mounted on your windows the quality is outstanding cheer 😊

Please don't sell it

Will you be at the truck fest 2022 on Sunday

Great video stavros .I think you should sell it and go for renault T high. Take advantage of the market. Funny part at the end 🤣 with the pot hole I work in Dublin would gladly give you a bucket 🪣 of Rephelt cheeeeeeers

Drivers: Potholes, potholes everywhere... Councils: Aye, such a shame. But we've got no funding Also councils: We'll be creating new cycle lanes going from A to B! The joys eh? :D

If you get rid of a truck how long do you have to wait for another truck that's the problem

Personally I'd keep your scania because its a pain to get a brand new truck and you've got a very smart motor already and it's not a bad one

It it were me I would keep it. I was banging around in a 500s for a bit the other year. It my opinion not much can top it.

Is a good time for selling my friend you said it, but not good to buy, so if you want to keep driving, don't sell it, just wait until prices go back down again

Beautiful v8 scan mate

Keep it Stavros.

Stavros969 selling the s580 sounds stupid after spending the money on her keep her in the rlt

A new top of the line Kenworth in Australia coverts to about 330,000 euro🇦🇺

220ks in Australia we do that plus in a year. That truck would cost $350000 plus new here we would run it at least a million ks to make it worthwhile

Defo keep the truck As for 19mpg. The v8 I occasionally drive is far better on fuel than the 6pots. Doesn’t struggle to pull the weight

Yes

keep it

Will you please please doing full of pipe this year

What's your thoughts on the iveco sway

My s580 quality .... only thing it as had are blu problems .....4 years old 520 000 km

lots of companies started selling/buying trucks every 2-5 years. trailers are 4-5 years. So by their logic yeah sell it.

yes

Keep it, delivery times and prices of new materials have increased a lot. But I’m interested how reliable Renault trucks are.

I think if you change you should change it up and go for a volvo 540 or 500 I save guys still getting 10 or 11 mpg with I save

Keep er lit staveros the maintenance on the scania will pay off in the long run ,buy a renault you will need a warranty for every year you have it there scrap .

Hi Keep it and take care of it. Cheers

Great vid as always Stavros. How are the tyres performing?????

Well what a wonderful video again Stavros! Also I was thinking if RLT is going to sell the S 580, will you wish consider driving a Volvo FH16 someday if they buy one for the fleet? :)

I think Stavros will go for a T Evolution 520... the 3 year warranty + the steering wheel column adjustment (his main complain from the Range T) makes it a good candidate. The other one might be the DAF XG or XG+ but the pirce on this last one is a big question mark. About Renault, they might have some feedback about the truck (Renault T prev gen) from the unit they have in the company. If he is considering selling the Scania is because somethings are not going OK. He will not get a top-tier Scania or Volvo with big engine. So, Stavros, sell. Let's see how it goes!

Frankly speaking, keep it, the price may will go higher or lower than now. But sell it, maybe not a lot of money to buy another new truck. So the best desicion is keep it for two years or longer. Wait for another chance to get a new truck.

Deffo keep her, you know what you’ve got.

I really like your videos, a greeting from a follower from Spain. Me gustan muchos tus vídeos un saludo de un seguidor de España.

If it’s the warranty you’re thinking about would it not be better to lease the truck over so many years

hi Stavros, keep it

DAF has less power same as the others you mentioned they should be cheaper ... hard to beat Scania residual price as well as they are one of the best at keeping their value ... back ups another

Hw much fr d 6x2 ,6x4 and 6x6 man

Stavros, I would stay with your S580, the whole world market is up in the air right now, nothing is stable, just hold tight and wait is my opinion

‘3000 newton meters of torque - so let me just torque to you about…’ Yeah I see what you did there matey!

Hi Stavros keep the 580 just look at your old 164 you have In reality how much does that owe the company now? And it would still fetch money today what would the other manufacturers equivalent models fetch. And as for Volvo now using turbocompound Scania had that 34 years ago then brought it back 21 years ago for the 124-470. When I worked for the main dealers in the 90’s they went through phases Merc, Daf, MAN but only one manufacturer remained top Scania. So is this the new phase??

Was the s580 the only scania s in rory lynch?

Hi Stavross. Great topic. Better to deal with the devil you know. Stick with her, look after her but work her hard. Earn $$ with it. It’s a workhorse. 40th anniversary tractor👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

Sell it and replace it with the T high evolution.

Keep it, its a good truck!!

what are your thoughts on indian trucks? make one video on it some day:)

Keep the S580

If truck dealers are anything like car dealers, they want you in the showroom. They'll do the hard sell, run you around with financing, and do everything possible to pressure you into a decision *right now*. If you're asking for a price online, they know you're comparing them, and aren't going to be as susceptible to pressure, so there's no incentive to cooperate. Why manufacturers aren't supplying prices is a mystery to me. In the States, the list price has to be available. Should you sell? You'd get a new truck with a two or three year warranty, which would probably save you a bundle in repairs. Also, you'd have a truck that will be lower mileage, and be more up to date. Downside is it'll be more expensive, and you're going to have to wait. But the market for used trucks seems to be very hot, and this would be the time to sell. In the end, it's up to your boss isn't it? Even if they get top money for your truck, they'll have to come up with the difference. If it was up to me, I'd be putting in an order for a DAF XF or Renault T, depending on the best deal I could get

well, how about a volvo after a while? Of course you'd hate the little engine hump in the middle 😂👌

Ho avuto un r 560 per nove anni, ed è stato un veicolo straordinario mai un problema

Martin Ryan and sons in cappamore have beautiful ivecos maybe get an iveco if u sell the scania

Personally I wud sell while the going is good ok I realise u will be a truck down and probably have to wait a while for a new one but hey it will be 8monrhs by the time my new van turns up but my current vehicle is worth more now than last year but it’s whether or not you can afford to wait??? But good luck in making the choice

Jeez Stavros, way to sell a truck. "So this is broken, that rattles, these chaffe !!"

Don’t sell the truck! Please Stavros you are my favorite truck driver and reviewer. Do not sell it! Keep it my thoughts!😃

MAN, Stavros! 🦾🦾

Dealers ask "how much do you want to spend?" When asked the price of a truck/car.

If a new truck is definitely available at a decent price and you can get a decent price for the 580 then go for it, but otherwise no, don’t sell.

Good video Stavros,don't sell it we like it on the channel v8 scania

If you can obtain a Renault T high why wouldn't you if it costs you €12000 to change with a 3year warranty?
