a cute picture. I have always wanted to do that trip. I am a little hesitant to see what it will cost in USD, but, you only have one midlife crisis, and I think this is the one for me. The most, absolute most, I can put down on the car is 65k. I am not rich at all, but, with inheritance from my grandparents, and aunties, I might be able to scrape by. Plus, I'll be moving soon. Out of my little town southeast of NYC. Pennsylvania has been calling my name for a long time.

Quick version

Free flight for two to Sweden to pick up your new Volvo
Couple nights in Goteborg on Volvo.
You can drive the car around Europe for up to many more months than most of us can take from work in your new car
Drop off at many major cities they ship to US and import
They fly you back to the states
You pay basically dealer invoice price on the car so you save 2-4000 depending on model

All told it's about 5-7k of vacation and savings depending on your trip needs
