| RE: i want a S500 AsianML - 2/7/2007 2:25 PM It's a 2007 model as well, with 6K miles on it. Not many scratches for a rental either. 1996_S500 - 2/7/2007 9:27 AM S40's are nice. AsianML - 2/6/2007 6:58 AM It's alright. The W140 has been awesome recently, but the W126 has been giving me problem after another. First it was tires, then it was overheating, and now it is having transmission issues. I had to rent a car, but at least I got a Volvo. A Silver S40 with leather. I'll take pictures of it just so we can get off topic, and have some fun. 1996_S500 - 2/6/2007 9:27 AM In that case everything is alright. Hope everything is OK S500. AsianML - 1/25/2007 5:39 PM Sleeping, bad internet connection, repairing my W126, getting a rental car, having a horrible time with life...... Sorry. I'll try to visit more often, and mod this forum like I used to.
Where are the mods?   :dunce:  I like it. Although, it is weird driving such a small car though, because the 140 and the 126 are so much bigger. Nevertheless, the Volvo is very nice, and I do like it. | ||

| Re: i want a S500 AsianML - 2/8/2007 6:23 PM Are you trashing it or are you treating it nicely? Would you buy one in the future? well, I am driving a little faster than usual, just because it is a rental car, but I'm not abusing it by slamming the brakes or anything like that. I would buy one if I had extra money lying around, but I'm not entirely sold on it, and for me, Volvo just doesn't seem to be as solid and safe like it once was. Maybe I am just hesitant because Ford Owns Volvo now... I dunno, but here are some pics:

| RE: i want a S500 NZ Benz - 2/8/2007 7:35 PM So why are you not just driving your W140? the wife, so we need 2 cars. We switch off regularly between the 126 and the 140, but the W126 is having transmission issues, and is in the shop, so I had to get a rental. $28 per day for the Volvo. | ||

Oh I see, I'd feel less of a man if I gave up my W140 and let my girl drive it, cause I'd have to drive that Toyota thing she calls a car, I just say you may have a car but the W140 is an automobile.  I'm in no way implying your wife carrys certain said bit of your ah-hem anatomy in her purse.  J/K. | |

| Re: i want a S500 How do you like the waterfall center console? Is it weird to have that empty space in behind it? I think it would look cool if it were clear, or bigger, hollowed out, and had real water running down inside of it. | ||

J/K.haha, well, the thing about the Volvo rental car, is that you can abuse it, fill up bad gas, etc. whereas with the W140, I would never do anything like that, and would never want to. Don't worry, I love my W140 and W126, and have no intentions of selling either of them, and replacing it with a little Volvo. An S60 would be something I would consider as another car, in addition to the 126 and 140, of course, however the S40 is a little to small for my liking. | ||

It even has volume control buttons on the steering wheel. | ||

| Re: i want a S500 AsianML - 2/10/2007 8:57 AM How do you like the waterfall center console? Is it weird to have that empty space in behind it? I think it would look cool if it were clear, or bigger, hollowed out, and had real water running down inside of it. It is pretty weird. I remember seeing them showing that in a TopGear, but never experienced it until now. It is pretty cool. There is some space to put change, etc. That would be interesting to see it clear or hollow, but I'm sure there are lots of wires in it. What do you mean by waterfall center console. This center console is just silver painted plastic..... Whereas with the W140, it is all wood  | ||

| RE: i want a S500 BenzDieselTuner - 2/10/2007 10:10 AM whats up with the VOLVO?? didnt they have any more Benzs on the rental lot.....? :oI rented it from a car rental place, not an MB dealer, so they did not have any benzes, the best car they had was a Volvo, IMO. They had the Ford Taurus, Chevy Malibu, Chrysler 300, Chevy Impala, and other junk American cars, but they were all cloth, and they were all boring cars. | ||

I think the 300C is a cool looking car, the interior is...ok but still a cool car not many of them here either. | |
