Hello all, My name is Rico, I found this site while looking for things I can buy for my new(to me) volvo S60. I have been looking for a new car for the past month or so and didnt know what to go with. Ihad a95 Toyota Corolla thatI purchased brand new, I figured it was time for me to pick up a new vehicle since I have a little one on the way. So I started looking for new cars, started out with the usual suspects, Nissan, Toyota and so on. I am 28 years old and have had the Corolla since I was 16 so I felt that it was time for me to step it up into an adult luxury car, It's a bit hard to sell your product when you drive to meet potential clients and you show up in a run down car. So then I started looking at BMW, Mercedes and Lexus, but those didnt do it for me and I was tired of seeing them on the road. I was on my way to another BMW dealer when I came across a Volvo dealer across the street. I saw a new S40 and thought it looked so cool. I talked to a salesman and we started the paperwork on a 08 S40. After about and hour of figuring things out i was declined by the banks and had to walk away from the dealership without a new car.
The next day while I was doing some research on the S40 I got a phone call from the salesman and he told me to come down and take a look at a car that he knewI would love, so I did. When I got to the dealership he had set aside a 2004 Black Volvo S60 with everything I was looking for. I checked it out and seemed in excelent condition, running with the numbers from the previous day I was able to drive away in my new (to me) car. I went straight to my dads house to show him and he was proud I got a volvo but also a bit jealous because thats what he wanted. So to make a long story longer this past week has been great.I am, as I'm sure most of you are, excited to get up in the morning to drive to work or where ever it may be that day.

 

Welcome

And a welcome to you.

 

My S60 is white, but I do like the black.

 

Welcome aboard.

 

Hi Rico,

Welcome to the forum.

I'd love to say something like that. At 34, I do not even have a tricycle.

You could perhaps have a deal with your dad and buy another S40?

Check out the recalls and have them fixed at the dealer, free of charge if not taken care of yet:
