    I would never buy 7-year-old Volvo. If the truck does not have a factory warranty you are walking over dollars to save pennies. Your cost of operating that old truck is much higher than if you had a newer truck. Then again most OOs I have met have no clue about numbers.

    how can a 6-year-old truck have only 200k miles on it? Even if it did, it has been sitting around for 6 years and is rotted. I pay $5k for it after a dyno,

    You are to much focused on the mileage.
    Should look more at the hours.
    They tell a much more interesthing story.

    You have no idea what you’re doing. You’re going to learn an expensive lesson.

    Why is it that the ones who haven’t done something, always think they know more than the ones that have?
