    Awesome thanks! i just ran a report on rigdig and the only violations were OOS for tires in TN. also had a light issue. looks like it was registered in North Dakota. going to request a copy of the vehicle report from ND as per rigdig. the dealership is supposed to do a DOT inspection before they can sell the vehicle. do you still think i should get an independent DOT inspection?

    As long as the dealership agrees to repair or replace any items that fail then no need.

    Take it to cambria Volvo in Edison. There about 20-25 miles from arrow. Tell them to go over it with fine tooth comb. Because arrow is gonna pay for all repairs. Be prepared to pay about $250 for the inspection BEFORE oil analysis, or dyno. Dont be scared of the list they come up with, irs gonna be LONG but half of it can be dismissed.

    I would agree. Take it to the the Volvo dealer in Edison. Those places around Newark and Elizabeth I wouldn’t try to deal with.

    Hello,
    I've been following your progress for a while. How are things going? Im in the process of starting out with a semi and a 5 car and the Volvo 730 is a candidate. How is it holding up so far? Are there any other models you would recommend taking a look at instead? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
