Owning a Volvo (sm)

In Reply to: Anyone own a Volvo? Thinking about buying - TIA
You probably have bought it by now, but I will never buy another Volvo. We had a 1999 S80 and yes they are expensive to maintain. On the other hand my hubby still owns a 1989 740 but that was before all the computer stuff was installed in the newer cars. The S80 we had all kinds of problems with. I would recommend anything else other than a Volvo. Try doing a web search.

Anyone own a Volvo? Thinking about buying
a used one. Are the tune ups and regular maintenance expensive on them? Good and bad experiences are welcomed. Thanks.

owning up . . .
What I am trying to say is it is still out there lurking on my credit report . . . my late payments, some companies do not have "hardship clauses" (i.e. loss of job, illness, etc), they actually refused my payment when I could not give them what they wanted!!!! Now it is there and won't fall off my report for another 3 or 4 years
I never have used a crate in the 20 yrs of pet owning. Seemed like jail.
Take them out after each meal. Wait until they poop and applaud with joy, go immediately back into house. Take them out before sleep and first thing in morning to pee, afterwards cheer with glee. If you know what is going in, you can expect what will come out.
That is my experience.
Crates in my mind are used to spare the owner of an high energy dog. Walks will cure that. Long walks.
If no one is home all day, get up early and take him for a 30-45 minute walk and he will sleep all day awaiting your return.
Owning a pet is a privilege, not a right. If you can't afford health

After years of owning only American cars, I now own a Prius.
I'm getting 50 mpg even on the PA turnpike. I'm extremely happy with it and would buy another in a heartbeat. Earlier in the year, Toyota announced that they will be building Prius in the U.S., too.
