Oh, I believe you. I'm just saying that it seems as though there are more old Volvos on the road (in CT at least) than any other marque. I see 10-15 240s and 740s on the road EVERY DAY just in my general area - a very wealthy section of CT, more or less. I'm sure the GM V6 holds up well, but I really don't see old ones too much around here. Is it because the body falls apart? Or because the resale value is so low? Or because it just doesn't have the same cache as driving around in an old Volvo (somehow I doubt it)? I don't pretend to know.
