I think new car dealers are among he lowest forms of life, maybe somewhere around politicians and axe murderers and pond slime. You do NOT want or need to maintain a high-mileage used car to the standards as a new car which is covered by a warranty. So to drive one of these puppies without committing financial suicide, you need a tame indy Volvo shop.

I have 3 Honda autmobile products and 3 other Honda products and quite a few shares of Honda stock. I now measure my Volvo service receipts in terms of pounds.

But I prefer to drive the old Volvo... just because the seats are the best! No matter what you drive something will be annoying about it.

Assuming you ned to replace the ETM every three years, it works out to $30.55 a month.

How much was that new Japanese car?

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." -- Douglas Adams (1952-2001)
