How many repairs will dealer find on my p2

Post by abscate »

Have my p2 in at dealer for airbag recall, and new windshield

I just received a link to the detailed tech inspection which I can’t read because I’m behind the “ Red Curtain”

Thought I would start a fun over/under on the costs they will uncover.

Price is Right rules apply

Airbag and windshield excluded

Timing belt is due, will they find it?

Winner gets 10,000 MVS points.

Relatives and Volvo owners ineligible to receive prizes but bragging rights will transfer.

I would think they would tag on a PCV job and water pump in addition to the timing belt.

Car is lying Long Island. Labor rates here are high, like urban high. I think it’s $180/hour here?

$1500-1999.
Then they’ll offer to take it off your hands, as is, as the piddly little amount that is coincidentally equal to the down payment required to lease a new one.
