I mean….it’s a …….. Volvo.


That’s like asking “has anyone traveled to Equatorial Guinea to get infected with malaria?”

No. No one does that.

First off, Volvos are great cars you snob. This isn’t like going to Ohio and picking up a Chevy.

But it can also be cheaper for the buyer and it’s fun to go to the factory for pickup.

No, they definitely aren’t great cars. Not anymore. This isn’t 1982. The days of a affordable Volvo D240 diesel wagon going 300k miles and then passed down to the kids for another 100k miles are over. Now Volvos are expensive, gimmicky and prone to costly service. If you keep a Volvo past warranty you’re a fool who will soon be parted from their money. They are terrible, terrible vehicles when it comes to maintenance costs after the warranty period. Why do you think the prices for used Volvos with more than 100k or older than 6-7 years are so low? Because no one wants them because they nickel and dime you to death.

Make fun of Chevy if you want (which makes you the snob, not me) but I can pretty much guarantee that Chevy (pick one, any model, doesn’t matter) will have less maintenance cost by 100k miles than the Volvo.

Seriously - they are garbage quality vehicles.

This one goes out to this hater
