I agree with your mechanic about what I would call the car's "practical life" vs it's useful life, which could be much longer if enough money is put into maintenance.
He's talking out his ass about the subscription service, though. It's an interesting idea- a 2 year lease that includes maintenance (they all do anyway for that time period) and insurance. It's a cookie-cutter car you can't configure except for color and accessories, but you get the option to switch out to another Volvo after a year. It's starting now with the 2019 XC40 at $600/mo + tax or $700/mo + tax for the R-Design. A lot of people are signing up for it, and believe it or not the extremely limited Polestar 1 will only be offered that way. 600hp, 737 lb/ft of torque. It's a halo car. Polestar is gunning for Tesla with that monster. Polestar 2s and 3s to follow later for us mere mortals.
