When we left WA, we left our car as part of the closing deal with the house. When we got here, we purchased a used 2006 Volvo. Not quite three month has gone by and we find out that the car is in desperate need of a new transmission. Total estimated costs are equalling 6800€. Obiviously, this is quite a blow. That amounts equals about $9000. We didn't know how in the world we could pay for this repair and of course are really angry that we were sold such a shotty car. Meanwhile the dealership wrote to Volvo and asked them to cover some of the costs. This car, although no longer under warranty, had been dealer maintained and us only about two and a half years old. We got word back yesterday that Volvo will cover 60% of the costs. Not bad considering they were under no legal obligation to cover any amount after the warranty ended. Of course this doesn't fix everything, but it certainly helps!

I am also impressed. Not many companies these days will step up like that. Shows that it never hurts to ask, huh?
