It's not a Volvo dealer, alas. They pick up end-of-lease and auction cars, set a slightly low-ball figure, and don't have any haggling.

So it'll have a standard, lame, used-car dealer warranty.

The loss of 850 customers and the reading I've done on those cars is what makes me wonder about this one.

Also spoke with a former Volvo sales manager one day, who now deals Toyota because he got tired of the way Volvo was handling relibility issues, and he had said that the new ones were no better. I figured that there might be some sour grapes involved in what he said.

The 60 seats were wonderful, but the glovebox door was already loose when closed, reminded me of the 240 I rode in on...&^)
