I don't have any ads to post but I went to a New Year's party in the city last night and randomly parked next to one of my friends who I convinced to buy a Volvo :thumbup:


I can't speak as to why the owner didn't list it here, but I did consider buying it for my GF which is why I didn't post it right away. However, a P2R moves her away from all the things she likes about her current vehicle, a Honda Civic -- great MPG, low cost of ownership, and the anonymity of a common car in a common color.I'm curious why this isn't being marketed on SS... especially considering the audience knows this R and appreciates the rarity.
Chicago.... what's your impression of the condition? How come this is not in you signature title by now?
$4500 seems very fair. I'm sure a hand full of folks here could manual swap this beast over the weekend.
great MPG, low cost of ownership, and the anonymity of a common car in a common color.
Perhaps that was best to pass. I personally would hesitate to recommend any R to someone I know. I'm sure it needed some sorting, as they all do. Even mine needed $2k for a stage 0 at 42k miles.I can't speak as to why the owner didn't list it here, but I did consider buying it for my GF which is why I didn't post it right away.

Also, the ad is now deleted. Anyone here?
That's almost exactly how I feel about recommending Volvos. I love them and enjoy them, but I know they aren't Civics, so I'm a little slow to jump up and say, "You gotta get one of these." Double or triple that concern about an R.Perhaps that was best to pass. I personally would hesitate to recommend any R to someone I know. I'm sure it needed some sorting, as they all do.

My gf bought a XC70 and I purposely didn't push for it, but helped once she knew what she wanted. I didn't want to hear about it later. The dude abides.
That's right... I always say... I don't drive them because they're reliable. Thats why I have 3.That's almost exactly how I feel about recommending Volvos.

I recommend new Volvos but when it comes to used ones that have been well used I always give a word of caution.That's almost exactly how I feel about recommending Volvos.

Nice! I'm overdue for my annual Lebowski fest.The dude abides.
On netflix now. Just watched Tuesday with our kids who had never seen it. 20 and 18...

One of the first times I got so drunk I was violently ill was on WR and haven't had the appetite for them thereafter. Of course, nothing like me and tequila!Nice! I'm overdue for my annual Lebowski fest.
I'll try to keep pace with the Dude on white russians... but I've heard its tough.
So... You think I can sell her on this one?I'm not sure what you told her, but you should be selling this long before it comes up for sale.

ha! "Safe and unrealiable" should be their new slogan. Let's pitch it to the Chinese.That's right... I always say... I don't drive them because they're reliable. Thats why I have 3.
I love watching those "what's the most reliable car" commercials.... You don't see Volvo doing those... lol.
This post, singlehandedly, should be the motivation to have likes and upvotes on SS. Bravo.
