I thought an XJ-S or a ('new') Quattroporte _was_ a modern car! Cits
require specifically trained maintenance- hydraulics and sheetmetal.
The Volvo is a practical car, all too practical in fact, but reliable.

For driving an old car to be cheaper than leasing new ones, you have
to be an owner maintainer, at least in my neighborhood. Dealer labor
rates are pushing $85/hr here.
