Car Question

**Kristi** · 04-08-2005, 11:49 AM

Ok, I am looking to get a new car, a Volvo actually, but I don't know that much about them. I heard that you can only go to the dealerships for oil changes and any kind of work...is that true? I have no idea, its just what I heard.

Also, I am trying to decide between a 1999-2001 S80 or S40 - is one better than the other or any preferences....any advice you guys could give would be helpful!

Thanks in advance

i thought you wanted a TL?

**drupason** · 04-08-2005, 12:52 PM

you can change the oil yourself

**trythefly** · 04-08-2005, 01:10 PM

lol

**Kristi** · 04-08-2005, 01:12 PM

i do want a tl - but i want a brand new 05 TL - and i can't afford one of those. i am looking to cut the cost of my car payment. i am going to sell the maxima, take the cash from that, pay off the rest of my loan and put that towards a new car. and then just pay what i have to pay on the rest of the car.

**quickdodge®** · 04-08-2005, 02:31 PM

You gonna mod it or leave it stock, too? Will this affect your status and postion in the EMCC circle? Later, QD.

**civic95** · 04-08-2005, 02:41 PM

My advice, get 04 TL with 10K miles, and save yourself about $5K.

Do you change your oil yourself anyway?

**collins** · 04-08-2005, 02:47 PM

mike, dont be a dork.

Lolol. THAT was funny. So proper sounding. Your attention to detail is very much merited in that sentence. Simple, yet, not complex. Later, QD.

**Kristi** · 04-08-2005, 03:34 PM

Well, I probably won't be modding it for awhile. Right now I am just looking for something reliable and pretty.

No I won't be changing my oil -I'm a typical girl - I don't know how to change my oil, like James said - that is his job.

Oh and Alex, :jerkit: that was sooo gay!

**4dmin** · 04-08-2005, 04:09 PM

if you get an s40 get the new T5 model w/ stick... the older ones are really slow. and s80 vs. s40, i would buy s60R turbo, awd, stick

i looked at s40's and 3 series bmw's... after driving both i still bought a 1.8t Golf over them

**Kristi** · 04-08-2005, 04:16 PM

well i can't afford a new one. i am getting these cars for 10K - 11K so I am not getting a new one.

I can't drive a stick well, so I will be getting an auto plus I drive in so much traffic, i don't wanna stick.

it looks like it is going to be between a 2001 S40 or a 2000 S80

Get a Honda, cheap reliable, and with the right stuff, can be pretty

**Chuckster** · 04-08-2005, 05:07 PM

Yeah. How can the other 1.73 billion people that have a Honda be wrong? Lolol. Later, QD.

**JoeCoolinATL** · 04-08-2005, 07:31 PM

How would there ever be a volvo on the road if you could only go there for repair work? (or did i just read that wrong?)

I know someone that's a service manager at the Volvo. He's on here sometimes, black 240 with R34 suspension and a few other mods

he can probably find some really good deals...

**Brandon C** · 04-08-2005, 10:57 PM

Just To chime in as the Resident Car Sales Guy. I think you could get a great Volvo for around 10-11k but I would be sure that is something you really want.
Oh Yeah shameless Plug Now:

I would stay away from a volvo. Shit is not cheap when it breaks.

Just keep Riding the maxima until it falls apart, save some cheese and then buy something hot.

Stay away from the 99-2000 S80 they are horrible try and get an S60 Of some sort. If you can find one for a good price try and get a turbo model they hold up alot better over time.

**Cliff** · 04-08-2005, 11:58 PM

^^^listen to him he's not mikey volvo for nothing

**quickdodge®** · 04-09-2005, 09:40 AM

^^^ He's not "mikey volvo" anyway. He's BOOSTED S60R. Later, QD.

**Cliff** · 04-09-2005, 10:18 AM
