Question Running 2 Volvos?

How many of you run two Volvos that are less than 10 years old but older than 4 years? Who needs a warranty!

Is that a question or an assertion that a warranty isn't really needed?

We now have two age-qualified Volvos, but the newer one (a 65-reg V60 D3 R-Design Lux Nav Auto) is a new acquisition and has a warranty from our local Volvo specialist.

Sounds like a company selling used car warranties to me

We run two Volvos that are both over 21 years old, so couldn't get a warranty!

Some would argue there are no "real Volvo's" in that age bracket


All of mine are between 20 and 60 years old
