Volvo trucks are still own by Volvo. Only the cars are part of Ford
Motor.

A volvo truck engine top end overhaul costs approximately $80,000

A new volvol ttruck with an engine of like capacity is priced at
$86000.
Qatar is a closed market and the agents tend to soak you for as much
as they can screw you for. There are no independent repair garages,
and the agents refuse to co-operate with spares, manuals, or
reprogramming vehicle computers/
That is why the japanese and koreans and now the chinese are
prospering.
I have had mercedes, bmw, mitsubishi, rangerovers and land rovers
and toyota vehicles. I know from where my next car / 4wd will come.

Yes, we have a joke out here about MB and BMWs. When you drop off
your MB for service, just to shake the mechanic's hand is a $100
charge. I almost bought a Volvo until I saw what the cost of
maintenance was. It was on par with MB. Hence, no Volvo.
