http://diplomat.volvocars.com/models/c30/ Looks nice, but is kind of risky to buy unless you live and work close to a Volvo dealership. It is unlikely to be problem-free and it will be a hassle getting warranty work done if you have to drop the car off at a dealership that isn't nearby. Maybe it can be an alternative to a Mini Cooper which you can say the same thing about. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 29, 2006 6:40 am) If you buy such cars because you like the looks, you should be sure to a have a dealership that is convenient to your commute unless you don't work and don't have to worry about it. Since many dealerships only do warranty repairs on weekdays, it will really be a hassle if you have to drive out of your way (maybe the opposite direction of your work) to drop off the car and get a rental or loaner, then go back to pick up the car in rush hour traffic at the end of the day. It will be a huge pain even if that only happened a few times a year and they fixed every problem right the first time so you didn't have to take it back for them to rework the same issue.

Replying to: jaxs1 (Nov 28, 2006 6:21 pm) Even the best cars have defects and warranty repairs. Look at a Honda or Toyota dealers service dept, they are FULL of cars being fixed and it isn't all oil changes either. Any modern car is going to need special care that Joes Garage can't do.

If pricing stays at the $23k range, I predict volvo will be able to sell more than the 10k units volvomax says they projected. At least I hope so. i'm curious, vmax, is there another car in recent years (let's say within this decade) that volvo sold more of than they thought they would? The C70 is still pretty new, so I'm assuming demand is still there (is that correct?). So it may be a bit early to judge that one. It just seems to me that discounts seem to hit the volvos so quick these days. Even the R cars are deeply discounted, and those were never intended to be sold in any kind of volume, correct? The only thing I can think of that may have sold better than expected might be the XC90?
