I'm looking at purchasing a Volvo, anything good or bad to say about it?
Spare parts are hideously expensive
Find a good garage to repair it if nything goes wrong, main dealer garages
charge about double what a decent garage will, though you would still get
Volvo spares.
I recently had a quote for a HUGE service plus a new timing belt. The quote
was for over £700. A reputable private garage did the job using genuine
Volvo parts for £315. makes you wonder!
Until recently, the make had a well-justified reputation for being
bought by people who were overendowed with money but underendowed
with intelligence. They charged those ridiculous values because
their customers were happy to pay them, using the monetarist belief
that, if you pay more to a profit-making enterprise, you get better
value. Yes, I know that sounds like lefty lunacy, but it's quite
true - I was told precisely that by some proud Volvo owners.
