    Nice looking truck for a first one. I happen to like Volvo's myself. Good aerodynamics and by far the easiest to drive or learn on. My first truck (if that ever happens) will probably be an older one with a pre-emissions motor.

    Good luck, and let us know how you make out with it! While many of us have experience with buying a used truck, and we all have our opinions about this or that, and may not agree with your choice, ultimately it's your money, your truck. You are the one who will have to deal with what comes. Best of luck to you. Hopefully no major troubles for a couple years.

    I feel your pain in regards to looking for a truck, congratulations! I hope it runs well for you. I took me a month of searching everyday several times a day. I actually started to give up on looking for the things I thought that were important. Then one day BAM! there it was, it was actually better than I had hoped to find. Still waiting to drive it lol waiting on my authority to be granted so I can get it registered...

    Buying a semi truck is a investment. It’s not like buying a car for your kid. Make sure you don’t get a vacuum salesman turn truck salesman to sell you a truck. Check out maintenance records, top bottom side in out of truck. There’s a lot to purchasing a truck .

    B M W ?

    Pricey

    When they go flat STOP.....

    That’s the best way to buy a truck. Same way I will do it. Best of luck. No rush buying a investment, rather be rolling then sitting courtsidevin repair shop
