Default New Member - Introduction.

Hi to all - just introducing myself. Name, Mike: logging in as "Finklespuss" (our way of keeping our beloved late cat always in mind) and now living in Spain, as a Brit ex Pat. WAS a "Lexus man" until I opted out of providing most of the GNP of Saudi Arabia, and got a diesel S80. MARVELLOUS vehicle - as good as any Lexus, and much more economical to run. Now had it 3 years, and 40k miles, and had NO problems whatsoever - apart from shelling muchas dinero for 18" alloys & ULP tyres,when ordering. Have now binned the lot, and dropped to 16" wheels & 235 x 55 tyres, which seems to suit the car much better. An expensive vehicle ($75000) but worth it, as loaded with all the kit.
Am planning to keep it for perhaps 10 years, as fed up of shovelling money at Dealers, every couple of years, and would appreciate comments that I am doing the right thing,from other long-term owners.
Happy Volvoing to all. Bestest. Mike

Hello mate,

Greetings from Narita, Japan.

Welcome to the forum, I wish you the best of luck withyour Volvo, as well as with the forum.

When you have technical questions and wish to post a thread, please do a bit of in-forum search, as you can often find answers to your questions. Also, post questions in the model-specific forums for the best results.

Cheers,


JPN
