    That 55cpm thread was a fatumo_O.I am in a white Volvo and it's East European too! Didn't drive white one for 2 years and only one with that kind of mileage.
    This fine piece of Swedish engineering was built in December 2004 and proudly display 1266990 miles on odo.Powered by ISX ST2 which according to sticker on a door produces 450 HP.
    So far so good.Everything in place and works .Couple of things one needs to get used to like clutch,tranny and seat.
    On the outside it misses part of black trim between steps.Other than that no dings or dents.
    Her daily routine is doing local work but tomorrow she will haul 46k load all the way to Dallas:).

    I was told it was inframed but what was done exactly I don't know.Overall decent cheap truck if one doesn't have to take curves fast (or suspension should be done).Oh and 70 mph sucks,you really need that extra 5 mph sometimes.
