Thread: Volvo S60 2.4

I am stupid enough to still work on cars for a living and I wouldn't put a cent into any volvo, ever. Same goes for any Euro crap really, unless you shit money and can take a $5k bill without wincing at all, then it's all good, safe, and often fast as all fuck, like the 335i/C63AMG/whatever floats your boat.. An old S60? Hell no. There are a zillion other things jap that do the same job, better, maintain their value blah blah blah

I have a financially stretched housewife a week ask me whether she should buy this cheap Golf/307/Saab/werewolf cos it's "cute"..... "nope, get a civic/corolla/camel, cos you can actually afford what's likely to wrong with it".. And about half the time they ignore me, get the heap of shit in question anyway, then cry when I'm usually (but not always of course) right.

Having said that, if I'm going to have someone I love get in a smash, I'd rather they did it in a volvo

Well said! But they still buy the shit mixer euro trash because it's a nice colour, and then whine about the invoices you give them aye!

Glad to be off the tools - 11 years now...😀
