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
Fraud or scam!!

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?
Jeck Thanks this. -
Here is the vin report. Just in case someone comes across this truck.

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 GURANTEE THAT. That's a promise -
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 truckOnway Thanks this. -
goodguy88 how many trucks have bought before ? ##*** the mileage. it's not 98k. it's 200k and what ? in this case the paperwork is most important.
Onway Thanks this.
