re: We got any Volvo lovers here?

I'm a labia and clit man myself.

VOLVO, oh.

Had an S-60. Drove it until the tires fell off. Almost not evening embellishing anything there. When I traded it in, it was leaking gas (dealership asked about that gas smell, told them I just went and got some lawn mower gas before coming up there), about half the electronics didn't work, blah blah.

When I was headed to the dealership to trade it in - think they gave me like 1,800 (they offered some number lower than that, to which I acted extremely indignant and offended, at the dissing of, in my words to them, that luxurious European touring sedan), and on my way there, I couldn't resist pulling a Dukes of Hazzard on those railroad tracks than form the East side of Monroe's "Garden District". It was a good car through the years though. Bought it with about 45,000 miles, drove it about 8 years, put about 100k more on it, and it gave me precious little trouble till right there towards the end. Only paid like 12,500, it was paid for the day I got it, and given the choice - if I had less than 13k to spend on a vehicle - I'm not sure I wouldn't do that again.

I almost miss my wife owning that PoS just because I got to spend a LOT of time sitting around in Gary's shop shooting the shite with him about everything under the sun.

Drive an XC60 here. Love it. It's a tank.

My sister offered to sell me her 2012 XC90 for $23K (what they offered her on a trade in). It has about 25K miles and she wants to get rid of it because she says it has blind spots and the leather is worn. I think she is exaggerating about the leather. I am looking for a small SUV and I figured this might work.

To buy or not to buy?
