mechanic to check used truck out

Not sure about this one but maybe try craigslist....although you wouldn't know eve from adam in this case. You would have to trust your instincts. Why don't you just take the time necessary and drive out there. It's not that far considering it might be a good deal AND you would know about the truck yourself. You can take your own mechanic with you. I guess you should call the dealer yourself and ask a million questions right off the bat. This will give you some idea about their character before you even step foot out your house. Get as much info as you can via phone !!

mover man,

Go online and find a Detroit Shop and/or a Volvo shop in the area where the truck is located that you are interested in possibly buying.

Unless its an auction the person selling the truck should be willing to take it to the truck shop to get looked at. If its at an auction you might be able to get a mobile truck repair shop to go look at it and pull oil samples for you.

 

Dunno why you're doing it, but personally I'd never but a truck sight unseen by myself. If you're committed, have your driver/mechanic take it to a shop run by another brand (Fliner/ Paccar, etc) and have them do a thorough inspection on it. Believe me, they will find every little fault because they will want you to look instead at their comparable used trucks. This can also be good because they just might have a better one. Tell them you're gonna do the same with theirs tho.

 

I would hire a mobile truck mechanic to go to the truck, if you serious about the truck that can't be taken to a shop.

Was going to mention that site or truckdown.com. Some shops are only listed on one or the other.
