As of Sunday, there are no Volvos at my household. From Sept 2018 there has always been one here.

My oldest’s fiancé moved to town and needed a car. I gifted him my 08 S60, he’s got an 02 S60—starting a relationship as a two Volvo couple is good karma right? :wink: My youngest has the 05 XC90 at university, I still have a box of front chassis parts to install so it’ll be back.

No backup car (only motorcycles) for the wife and I…now where are those low mileage excellent condition P2s for cheap on Marketplace… :lol:

I think we've been continuous wagons since about 1990. New baby, car seat wouldn't fit in the Scirocco!

I’d love to find something in the 70-80k miles range. Not afraid to do timing belt and suspension if the exterior and interior are in good shape. Currently enjoying the extra garage space.
