2004 volvo V70 AWD wagon, galvanized Swedish steel, no rust.
240k miles and everything still works.
I have a mini cooper S - the first automatic I've ever had, but am appreciating it more each day. I drive it in all weather and it does fine. No need for a 4-wheel drive: It thinks its big!
I do buy new cars and drive them until they are dead.
always wondered what they look like without dents and clean paint.I had a V70 about 15 years ago. It was my "work" car. I paid around $5,000 for it, and used it to haul photography gear in. It had the bulletproof 5-cylinder engine (originally an Audi engine that Volvo bought the production rights to).
BTW, rust is NOT an issue in North Texas. Classic cars that have spent their whole life in Texas are in high demand among collectors.

i paid $2000 6 years ago and had to replace the turbo but besides timing belt and brakes its trouble free. I have the vida dealership software and do all my own work on it, couldn't afford it if i was paying a mechanic.
I drive an Audi Q5, too. 2022 with 8000 miles on it.
ive only owned 2 new cars in my life. My Toyota and my Saab
And never owned ,ever in my life, an American made car. Sorry. Oh no, wait, my first car at 15 years old was my mustang.
2014 Madza 5 Sport (minivan). I work as a courier so a minivan allows me to do orders I would otherwise miss. It's a pretty crappy ride, actually. All I could afford when I bought it.
I had 4 Ford Focuses. Great car. Pity they don't make them anymore.
Why are you apologizing?I drive an Audi Q5, too. 2022 with 8000 miles on it.

I told my oncologist I wanted a cat but this cancer makes me hesitate, he said go ahead you'll live longer than a darn cat. So I did.I will be 80 at the end of this year. Always said I would just drive it til it dies... now I'm just hoping it lasts until I die!
my wife doesn't like cats, some people don't "get it".@gerardj I'm sorry to hear that about the cat. Get another cat. The more love in the world the better.
I drive buicks, he drives fords. My buick is gone now and I need to replace it with a car. I don't know what I want yet. I buy used.

My mother hated cats. Hated, hated, hated, with a real passion. Then my parents had mice in their house, and my father put his foot down: we need a cat, we're getting a cat. My mother was profoundly unhappy, but she gave in and they got a cat. Mice disappeared immediately.my wife doesn't like cats, some people don't "get it".
bought a new car once, never again.
I do all my own work, save a ton of money and make them last 10 years usually.
