Replace parts randomly is the trend with all cars V70-XC70

Sadly, this has become the trend with most (all?) car brands. If you think you've been overcharged at the Volvo - BMW - Mercedes dealer, I have heard similar complaints from owners of other brands. Granted, they may have a lower threshold for paying for car repair, and that is likely why most used cars I have looked at recently were pieces of junk - their owners refused to do even a minimum or preventative maintenance. But brake pads and rotors for a ToyHonZda or ChevFord aren't much cheaper than for a Volvo, and a replacement ABS module or similar is outrageous. But back to maintenance, I'm still amazed how few people realize that preventative maintenance is drastically cheaper - just a fraction - of buying a new car, paying for the tag and sales tax, etc.
