Re: Are we just fooling ourselves? ALL all

Hee hee hee...

I always cite my parents as perfect examples. They drive everywhere in their 90s RWD volvos.

One of their friends is on their SECOND Grand Cherokee (lemon buyback).

They started buying older RWD VOlvos now too, after spending almost $45k on (part of) 2 grand cherokees over the last year and a half. Because they could have FIVE 940s for what they paid for their one pile of crap.

That hurts, doesn't it? Knowing that you'll NEVER get that extra 35,000 back? Sure, you can MAKE another 35k but you'll never get the stuff you already spent back again.

Not to say I don't like modern cars. I might move up to a later 90s 850 in a year or so and see how it goes. I really don't care... I am just too cheap to buy a brand new car, that's all.

In fact, I'm currently looking for a 93-94 Lexus LS400. They're nice too.

Well, I'd go as new as maybe 97 if the price was good.

Guess I'm just 8 or 10 years behind the times. Anyway, you could do worse than older Volvos, that's for sure.
