Under $20k? No freaking way! I bet the car has 15k miles and cost him $30k at least.

And torque does wonders Yum. Especially when it's there at low RPMs.

The Volvo is gorgeous to me. I need to know more on pricing and options...And of course, settling into the new place and seeing how the finances are going. It's a tad bigger than my current place (not too much) and so, upkeep will go up...as well, property taxes will not be cheap. There's also the mortgage too. I will blame Little Cha about how he's cock-blocked his Pops' ability to buy himself new cars when he wants when he becomes a surly teen and starts talking back.

For now, I can't scold him. Too cute.

I essentially saved 10k off of buying a brand new one. This one is in flawless condition (it better be with only 1400 miles!). Also has full 3M wrap on the front, which saved me a pretty penny.

Honestly, I don't care. I'm just happy I picked up a mint car, with 6MT and synchrorev match (which I'm glad I can disable, lol), 2300km, 350hp/276ftlbs, forged wheels, etc, for a great price. Most importantly, I'm glad I fit in it

Goal is to eventually get it to 400hp... won't be hard. An air intake adds 18 horsepower at the wheels.

So $30k + some. Still a great deal! And yea it's fast, period. Who cares about others. I'm just busting your balls.

That's crazy low miles. You too seemed to have found a good opportunity.

it was from a dealership.. I hate dealerships and wanted to avoid one at all costs, but this ended up working well for me. They were actually good to deal with. No forsale ad, as far as I'm aware.

Original owner traded this in for a Shelby GT350. Must be nice

Nice Adam, congrats, man.

Okay, I'm done.

That's a nice looking ride Tacoballs. Looks like much more fun than whatever financially-responsible bullshit you were supposed to spend the money on would look.

I really wasn't. It wasn't supposed to happen for another year. Wifey and I did much debating, moved some stuff around and made it happen.

TL is gonna stay. It'll remain as my daily- I mean, it's paid for and I wouldn't get much for it if I traded it in/sold it. The 370 is for summer purposes only. I refuse to let her see a spec of snow.

LOL...it'll be another 15 years until Cha goes to college. So, yeah...given how I keep my cars for about 9-11 years, it's possible. Albeit, he may have his own ideas as kids are apt to do. Who knows what cars will be like 10-15 years from now.
