    Talked to a mechanic

    The milage has been changed with a reader and software

    If it was 98000 a year ago, 70000 now


    What do you think the milage is now?


    Truck probably has atleast 200 300 miles on it. You can literally change it to whatever number you want


    Start looking elsewhere

    This is also immigrant and more common on digital odometres

    You may also have a problem once you register the truck under your name and they ask for milage

    They will have history that it had 98 now it has 70

    They will question you about it.

    Thanks, for everyone's response I will definitely stay away from this deal. Maybe there's something I can do so another trucker doesn't fall for this fairytale deal?

    Report them too whoever. I'm in Canada

    In my case I would report to Ministry of Transportation Enforcement Officers. These guys don't joke around. They're like trucker cops

    I've bought a CAR with 300,000 km on it..they swapped motor and claimed it had 70,000 on it. The odometer said 300,000

    Difference is I knew it was a Honda motor that they pull out of Japan after certain milage

    Tinkering with milage though is a different story. You now never know what is correct anmoyre

    It is to scam the buyer. They're not doing you any favors....its highly immigrant

    Registering this truck under your name your going to have problems once they see the milage has been changed. You'll either have to lie...makeup numbers.... Or explain and then who knows what

    Why would you want someones truck that they've put their hands in something that should not be change or you don't know exact history

    I would not be surprised if it has been repainted as well to deceive buyer like it is brand new and spent 300 dollars cleaning interior

    Do those volvos even come in that color? When you open hood or around door frames is it another color?

    Vin might be as good as the odometer at this point.

    Be careful these guys will now try and lure you back in if you bring it up

    I would buy this truck. I would go to Volvo and get warranty repair record for this vin . then I would check to see the engine is original. I would check to see the truck was painted or not. I would do financing.

    Please don't listen to guy

    He doesn't seem to comprehend the milage has been changed.

    Even if it does have original motor

    Volvo probably won't touch it anymore after messing with milage that's why now one has services it with Volvo since


    This is basicly a black market truck
     
    Onway Thanks this.
