Daily Driver

[PeterBergin at aol.com]

Bernie, I gotta ask, how many miles do you drive your 200 a year?  My  back 
up car is a 1990 Volvo 740 GL base model , cost about 1/2 per mile to  
maintain, drives like a go cart and is worthless in the snow (even with snow  
tires).  However the AC is still good. 
 
My Audi with 238k does not give me confidence to take on long trips  
anymore.  Can't afford to be stranded with a car that few mechanics  understand 
and parts some parts are non readily available.
 
Pete

If one  has a 200Q20V in good condition why would he look any further  
for a  DD? One of the most reliable, long
lasting, and lowest cost of ownership  cars that I’ve owned. Why  
suffer daily sitting in  junk?
