Default 1st Time Volvo Owner

Hey all. Just swinging in to say howdy. Just picked up a 2001 C70 HT Coupe yesterday. I have owned somewhere around 28 different cars in about 16 years. You could say I am fickle with my autos. Love the Volvo. Think I might keep this one around for awhile... provided the European maintenance costs don't kill me.

Dark Green with Tan leather.
Auto
STC
Winter Package
105k/Miles
All available options (that I can tell)

The rear fog light is the option that baffles me the most however.

See ya around,
- Goat

As long as you either wrench your car your self OR you go to a Specialist and Skip the Stealership, maintenance is comparable to most cars, so it shouldn't be that bad....Welcome to the Club!

I do usually do all my own wrenching. And, as a bonus, the used lot where I bought the C70 is also a European Auto Service Center. They just put a new timing belt on it and did a tranny service also. Plus, 4 new tires! I'm hoping I don't have to do much, if any, wrenching for a while....a long while.
