I don't know about the internationals, but at the shop I used to work at we had Western Star straight trucks
They both had CAT straight sixes and leaked oil all over the place, but both were overhauled at around 500k miles and then sold at 850k miles.

If you can get it for a steal and pay the $2000 to $2500 for a rebuild and still stay within the black book value... Then yeah go for it. But this is why your seeing them on Kijiji for sale around the 400000km, cause these guys don't want to get them rebuilt.
Get some prices on a rebuild... where ever you are may very in price

Oh yeah... The big rigs rolling up and down the hwys and interstate highways will see those high numbers. But the smaller diesels ie straight trucks, dump trucks and even the medium duty trucks are averaging half that. Simply because of the stop and go city driving
