What a beautiful car and I LOVE the color! (It's my favorite!)

DH has wanted a Volvo for quite some time now and I have been hesitant because of the sticker shock, but I am actually really surprised by the price you noted. I thought for sure your cute little car would have been a lot more.

CONGRATULATIONS and how fun!

What happened was that Volvo realized they were pricing their cars out of the younger market. So, in 1999, they introduced the S 40 which is about $10,000 less than the comparable cars of Audi, Saab, BMW, etc. And I was tired of blue, silver and blue cars. So, it was time for Passion Red (besides, it's not a metallic color so it saved me $500!).

yeah! go girl!!
that´s greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat caaar...and even better the price.
I have to admitt that I searched directly for the Volvo S-40 price here in Spain...and I think I´ll be catching some plane to buy one in states!

Good deal!!
Congrats.
