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.
It probably has a lot to do with where you live too.

In an affluent area you're just not going to see many buicks to begin with probably, but i would expect Volvos to be common. Likewise in the city in middle class neighborhoods it's probably the opposite. Lots of buicks, few volvos.

Point taken though- Volvos last a long time too.
