if you can afford the maintenance and parts, go for it! used to be the car that i aimed for last time, but i don't think that i can afford to maintain it.

that got me thinking is it really expensive to maintain? because my sis use honda civic and the maintenance is also quite expensive.

looking for this car's thread in F&F but found none so far..really hope I can hear advice from the experienced owner itself

Cars made in Shah alam. Anyway. Why Volvo? Why not a used 3 series or c class. Same price.

You must answer this question before you decide on Volvo

ive surveyed a few and found that used S60 are a bit cheaper than 3 series or c class

I see. Of course Volvo is cheaper in used market. But then again. You have to understand Volvo has less 3 rd party parts. Mercand BMW you can still get potong

But if you can pay like 4k for a service the its fine. Or 1.2k for a lube change. 2.4k for lube and gear change.

But if you compare. It's stil, cheaper the merc service outlets.

Wellmy s40 visits the glenmRie. So far so good.

I guess you're right, parts must be difficult to find since not many cars on the road. Makes me rethink my decision hmm.gif

According to someone I know who sells used cars, Volvos are much sought after in the used car market. Firstly because they have shit resale so second hand buyers get better deals and secondly they are more reliable than the more popular BMWs. In fact this dealer that I know stocks a big range of Volvos and sell more Volvos than they do any other marque...

do you mind share this dealer?
