Worst Financial Mistake buying Brand new Volvo

just something i wanted to share. cant even be too sure with brand new trucks these days...

[niteowl]

Don't let drivers dictate what brand of truck to buy. I would have told those drivers to hit the door, there are too many of us who would love a new pete to drive.

I get what you’re saying. When I bought my 2013 Volvo it was leaking in the back of my bed and got it fixed the 1st time... thank God. Man friend just bought a freightliner and a Peterbilt and both are still leaking and dealers can’t find where is coming from... note they’re brand new truck too. I thought to myself that’s weird both dealers can’t find the problem?? Humm so we went ahead and dismantle the upper portion of the truck and found the leak and fixed it. I think is all about luck now days. Hope you guys got yours fixed.

I see a lot of Volvos on the road making money. Lemons happen with every brand nowadays. I have a Freightliner which everybody would talk bad about. But I love it. KWs and Pete’s are overpriced in my opinion with lack of service centers. I would own a Volvo. But I would never have a sunroof on anything even a pick up truck. Always a problem

All newer trucks have issues these days.

Good drivers and hard working are endangered specie…i would please a driver and get him what he wants also

Nice, you don’t need vaccination in order to enjoy a waterfall… But there’s really nothing like Volvo’s, I don’t see that issue been a Volvo issue, the issue is whoever replaced that glass first time.

Thanks for post, If volvo fixes items damaged all is good for drivers and your dad, cross your fingers for no more leaks in future, time will tell. They are nice trucks, big money though, But they make money, keep on trucking be safe out their on the roads! PEACE!

What do you think about Internationals new Scania S13 engine?

[shekelclipper]

I own an International Prostar Premium and have owned Freightliners, Peterbilt, other International and they have all leaked to some extent.

I have a kenworth and pours in when rains

[pkranz]

Kenworth figured out vista windows with the original Aerodynes in 1976 ...

[alteshrampertaub]

Go for international LT limited it's the best truck make sure you get the A26 engine

[cesarvargas]

His screwed bro just like the rest luckily he has you i bet your going to fix it at the end.

[Harvester]

Who are these drivers that want a volvo over a pete lol

[usdpaulp]

I love the way a volvo drives but the quality is shit. After electric issues w the 2015 vnl I went with a Cascadia and it's been pretty good but drives like shit.

[Potrvlb]

I would NEVER purchase a Volvo. They do not care about quality, it’s all plastic plastic and more cheap grey plastic and more cheap plastic. I feel for your dad. I about spit my coffee out when I heard what those are costing. Of course it’s been a little over 20 years since being in the truck buying game. back then $120, 000 was a top of the line KW or Pete. Gently used 100, 000 miles for 85-90g.

Volvo semis are money pits. Watch Indiana Jacks channel. His truck needed expensive repairs frequently.

[gmcjimmy]

Volvo's are junk, who would take a Volvo over a Peterbilt anyway?
