Working class car for the price of a house.area: 214 sqm = 2,300 sqftbiarea: 105 sqm = 1,130 sqftrooms: 7plot: 2,031 sqm = 21,870 sqftVolvo isn't even Swedish anymore, it's Chinese, so you might as well buy a BYD for a small fraction of the price.
I had to pog a shit ton of vehicles yesterday at work... fuckkkkkkkk, anyway so many Volvos! I was surprised. I don't usually see that many and am now curious about them. Are they cheaper, more costly overall in terms of maintenance and so on. fml stoopid shit preocupying my mind. lol
>>543305744They're expensive. They've been trying to rebrand to seem white collar brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes,but they're just shittier Volkswagen. But yeah, the servicing is just as expensive as it is for an Audi.
>>543305586>950,000krWtfIsn't that like $100k USD? For a mid range SUV? Crazy.
>>543305894Explains it, I work at a place where rich congregate and the poor larp as rich to keep up! lol
>>543305586Didn't even know Sweden had large houses lol kinda nice
>>543305586looks like a massive house but it's only 105m2 living area? how?
>>543306009105 sqm is the bi-area, which is basement and loft. Living area is 214 sqm.
>>543306009That's the non-living area. Anyway, I imagine a giant old house lige that is very expensive in upkeep. Also with such a low price means it's either in the middle of nowhere or there is something seriously wrong with it (or both).
>>543306144It's a nice looking house in a smaller city.Of course if you're looking at Stockholm you'll have to pay a lot more, but that's besides the point. We're talking about a fucking working class car, you shouldn't have to take out a small mortgage to pay for it.
>>543306144Kramfors its a decaying industrial city in the north with 20% unemployment and vastly lower average income compared to the rest of the country.Worst part about Volvo is that they skimp on things that are cheap but affect your user experience so much. A constant problem since like 2016 is just getting into your car from door handles there they make the connecting wire too short so in cold it shrinks and makes your door unusable to keyfobs that break on their own and the electric cars have a major problem with the software not working with the fobs at all.
>>543306144But yeah, it's heated with a ground-source heat pump and the electricity is about $500/month. But that's kind of normal.
>>543306358>Muh employment rateJust slightly below the national average.
>>543306450The average unemployment is that high because of northern shitholes like Kramfors. My part of the country the average is 5-6%. It matters because do you want to live next to retarded lefties or have your kids only have retards as friends?
>>543305586>950K SVENSKE kronerIsn't that like treefiddy USD?
Nigga I just want to buy the house
>$135k jeetbux for a midsize SUVwtf
>>543306652Again...the point is that an good house, in an average town is cheaper than a car. That's it.It's disingenuous to look at the prices of houses in central Stockholm a few stone-throws away from the King's castle. Because those who live there drive Aston Martins, not Volvos.Meanwhile those who live in Kramfors do drive Volvos, albeit older models.
I recommend the Xiaomi car.https://www.tiktok.com/@carvip_pro/video/7408171714389101825It can dance, but it's not for the dancing features, but for the electromagnetic levitation.The electromagnet adjust 10 000 times per second depending on the input from camera and lidar.When it detects you will benefit from loose shock absorb, it will reconfigure on the fly to a suiable level. For example letting you glide over a road bump without slowing down.When it detects you will benefit from tight shock absord, it will reconfigure on the fly. For example when it detects you are about to make a turn or the road is turning.>>543305586
>>543306009Half of it was converted to refugee housing. It's a normal practice in Sweden and almost every large house is like that nowadays
>>543305586I don't know how well any cars last, but I have a job where I have to drive all kinds of new cars, and in terms of how they drive and how the quality feels, Volvo is up there with Mercedes and BMW. I prefer an XC90 over an X5. Also I'm pretty sure the V60 and V90 accelerate faster than their Mercedes and BMW equivalents.
>>543306954we can't get those commie cars like byd in canada
>>543307102Volvo doesn't have the provenance of Audi, Mercedes, and BMW. Volvo is a blue-collar car, the latter white-collar cars. Of course a new car is still going to feel nice to drive. You can say the same thing about Toyota or VW, but their starting prices are about half of that of Volvo's. But you don't get a mortgage for your car, you get a car loan, and the interest rates aren't the same. Plus, a car isn't an investment like a house is. In 3 years a Volvo will have lost half of its value. On top of that you spend most of your time in your house, the car is only a means to get to work and the grocery store...and there are cheaper alternatives.
>>543305586Buick still exists. VW will at least outlast that.
>>543307273To be fair, they can't get that car in China either.The waiting list is endless.
>>543305586You really are a poor White-nigger. You probably don't even know what a Raptor R is.
>>543305586I have a xc90 from 2003 with 940kkm on the engine its pretty nice think my total spending on maintenance/part stuff not including tires has been like 10k total in ~18 years i have owned it, not sure what the modern hybrid ones are like when it comes to reliability. Paid under 15k for it back in the day when it had like 100k on engine.
>>543308226That was before China bought Volvo in 2010. Cars were decent and cheap. They're still decent, but overpriced.
>>543306386No bathtub is a crime
>>543309970Laying in your own filth.
>>543305586Belgrade is chokefull of XC90s, its like every second card is Volvo >>543305744they are basically cheaper and better version of BMW/Audi/Mercedes for the last decade and so, although I've heard that last few years they also went to shit also XC90 just looks amazing
>>543310859How dirty are you, nigger?
>>543305915Swedes have always gotten slightly fucked when it comes to pricing. Even here 50k gets you a “decent” car now. Good ones close in on the 100k mark
>>543311086just buy cheap chink shit bro
>>543305586>Who the fuck is buying Volvo?Boring cuckservative fathers.
>>543311201No I have a modicum of class and money isn’t that hard to come by
It's a thing upper middle class buy because the brand is consider luxurious but it's not a target for carjacking like Mercs and BMW. The only reason men buy new shitty cars is because they are simps.
>>543307303Yeah they all drive pretty fine, I was talking more about the feeling of the build quality. For example, the massage seats in an XC90 are actually good, whereas in a Japanese card they're crap. Also something like the start switch or the drawers and stuff, they feel pretty good in a Volvo. Although the worst thing I have ever seen on a car was also in a Volvo, recently I drove one that had no display of any kind behind the wheel. Only the center display. If you want to see how fast you're going, you have to look to the bottom right. Absolutely retarded.
>>543309970>No bathtub is a crimeIt has one in the other bathroom. An XC90 has 0.
Why do people spend so much money on cars? Imagine if you invested your car payment and drove a 10 year old camry instead.
