c30 looks pretty good in real life...only ever saw less than 10 of these in malaysia....resale value should be the same as ford focus since u are buying 2nd hand...don't worry about losing money...all cars lose money...yes volvo lose money faster but by now it should be half its value already....

Yeah. By now there is not so much value to lose... which is good, which is what one should be looking after. Only worry is parts and service center.
The C30 is quite a looker. Alfa too, but the C30 can hold up pretty nicely, and it should be a better car.
yes it lost half it's value already, how many years only? and it'll continue loosing significant value every year. as i said earlier, after five years u can expect it to loose around 70-80% more of it's current value, by the time u want to sell it, it may only cost 40-50k. so go on ahead, if u expect to keep the car until it dies, then it's ok. that's why the "Volvo for life" motto.

Only those that appreciate Volvo will understand...if you like it, buy it
the only feedback from all my friends are, DON'T ever buy Volvo if u don't want to keep it until u r old. most of them says Volvo very good at first but after a couple of years, things start to go downhill and now they can't sell it because they ain't worth shxt. so they just keep it. From the first gen S40 and S60 until the XC90 also got friend buy, that's why i have so many feedback on this brand. now my neighbor wants to sell his XC90, the warranty also hasn't expire yet but the car value dropped almost 50%, he said he'll NEVER buy any kind of Volvo again. and also he says if the car always in workshop, better just buy Alfa, at least he will never get bored of looking at it while it's parked.
