Tell me about Volvos

Well hand I see what you're shooting at but you're still peeing in the floor a bit...I never seen a Volvo as stealthy looking or crotch rocketesque either..But what the heck....If thats how you got it,so be it.Be safe

GREAT POST!!!!.....They put a schooling on you huh? See fellas...thats the way its supposed to be "He bought the beers"...No drive by butt whippings on the radio...no one fingered salutes....Just good times.

 

Shame on you guys!Young driver just ask us to tell him pros and cons of VN670 and what we have finally at this post?If someone doesn't like Volvo's just keep it in you.If you have experience with Volvo just share it with youngster.

 

"What do you like or dislike about them" Hmmmm I think we were covering it for him and answering to the best of our abilities don't you?And don't act like you weren't a duck on this pond too!

 

Volvo makes a very smooth , quiet and comfortable truck. It is better than comparable Freightliners and Internationals for comfort. If it is equipped with a D-13 Volvo engine, you may have some engine related issues. Overall a good truck. I have driven a 780 for the last 2 years and will buy another one when I expand.

 

I just spotted this post.very good point.lol

 

If you're never used to drive the Volvo truck how can you share your experience with youngster?

 

You probably wont get this but I'll try anyway...It doesn't take a cowboy to spot a goat in a herd of cows.

I've seen a few up close,looked in one or two,knew a few guys who've drove them,watched their resale value,read a few zillion posts and articles etc,etc and it all added up to P.O.S....Plus I know the difference between firewood and kindling as far as how trucks are built after laying under one or two.I DON'T know a heck of a lot about who owns them,insurance values etc But I DO know that you can't give one away around here and if you're looking for a tax write off you couldn't do much better than a Volvo because you'll lose your ### on it when it comes time to trade horses.

 

Mule youre trippin. Volvo has a pretty decent residual value. 05 models are going for $60k +. I have seen al lot of large cars that were traded in at the Volvo dealer. Stop hatin

 

Don't worry Muleskinner,if I will trade my Volvo it would be Volvo only.

 

The small Volvo D-13 has had it's fair share of problems but I bet it is no more than the new Cat is having. Cat makes a great boat anchor.

Correction 05's are going for $69k. Check the truckpaper online
