Kira - I did not mean to say that service does not communicate with sales, they just would not give out information that I paid for.

One oddity that this dealer sometimes exibhits is that they will sell a used car before they evaluate what repairs it might need. For instance, in this case, sales did not know that the car needed a main seal - I had observed oil on the underside of the car hence the inspection.

We came to grips on this 6 year old 854 base with 48k miles - it was still owned by Volvo as the same person used it for 2x3year leases.

We just traded the car in after 11 years of happy motoring.

I have been doing business with this dealer for 13 years and I have had a good experience with both service and sales.

As for the gleam in his eye - a person who is smitten with his car will overlook more small problems with the vehicle than a person who just kinda likes his ride.

Thanks for your input.
