The old green mare

The Volvo was cheap to get, but maintaining it is teh bitch. Surprise surprise, parts for a '94 import are hard to find and expen$ive.

• Headlight replacement: not too bad: $20 parts, $20 labour; done and done.
• Backing light cover: they would have to replace the whole housing. $240 part, $30 labour; let's see if I can find that part cheaper, hmm?

Ahh but just think of it this way, regular maintinance on a care...while it can eventually reach the cost of a new one. Allows you to have your current one for much much longer...Though I can slightly understand what those things are like...I have seen some of the bills other car owners pay.
