The problem you will run into with either of these engines is that you will likely need to go to the dealer to have engine work done. That will be more expensive than one of the standard U.S. engines, such as Cummins, Detroit or CAT.

I have thought of this also. Have looked at where I'd be running most of the time and dealer networks wouldn't be a problem on either, but it does cut out the possibility of getting work done at a smaller or independant shop.
Am trying to decide to go to newer truck 2004 -2005 with low miles, or to go with older 1998-2002 with recent overhaul, and good mechanical history.. Trying to keep payments lower if I can.
Did find a 02 660 volvo with 469, 000 and 500 Cummins that was 44,000.
I've looked at everything from 25,000 to 70,000 deppending on mileage, history, etc. Don't want to spend above 70,000.
