A friend of mine who frequently buys cars says he doesn't bother with salesmen...he uses a buying service through his former employer. One of the perks of being a retired pilot. He simply figures out the make-model he wants, this service does the dickering. I've noticed that COSTCO offers a similar service. We're thinking of doing that for our next grocery hauler.
Volvo? They give me a negative impression since another friend's bad experience with a "light turbo" Volvo...his one of those cars that spent more time at the dealership than it did in his garage. Maybe he just got a lemon? I dunno, but he's bought Lexus ever since. Believe he's on his 3rd or 4th one, buying new when warranty expires on the old. He can afford it...
