Advice on Purchase from Rays Truck Plaza?

Is this the Carvana of the Class 8 truck market?

 

If the truck meets the needs you have, why not go look at it?

 

Pictures of trucks can be deceiving.

just sayin’

 

I'd run away from this one. Just under 500K means without any motor work, guess who gets the bill. Big companies regularly replace their trucks between 400-500K, because it's cheaper in the long run to have a new truck, than fiddle with the old one. This is a classic example of just such a deal. Volvos are good trucks, but many in your situation buy them because they are cheap. 15-20K/year is probably worse for an older trucks, as it will be sitting a lot, kiss of death for a truck. If an older trucks is what you need, make sure you get some paperwork on if the motor was rebuilt. Quite frankly, I'd go with a used Kenworth than a Volvo. Might be a little more, but a much better truck, and you have some resale. A Volvo not so much.
