Was a mechanic in my twenties which might be more than a few years ago.
Worked at a shop once that only did Volvo & Saab. What did I learn back then...
1)They run like shit to me but they run forever. Quite a few that came in were over 200k miles, 240 model.
2)Easy to pick. Guy I worked with always locked the keys in them. I got into them in seconds.
