Following on from the forced new car purchase, my estimate of 30,000kr on IT Contractor DK was almost spot on, because that's exactly what the garage put it up for sale for.
Word of warning, it's got some weird juddering problem that means it loses power at certain speeds. Nasty when you're trying to overtake a truck on the motorway and you suddenly find you can't go faster than 110 kmph. This happened twice and 2 different garages looked at it. Fix was only temporary and hence our decision this time round to just get rid. Well done to the garage if they managed to fix properly this time though.
Anyhow, it disappeared from the garage after 2 weeks and we thought maybe they'd sold it, but probably not. Driving past another garage outside Hobro and what do I see in the window? A metallic red Volvo 460 1.7. Worth stopping to have a look thought I, and hey presto, it turned out to be the same year and mileage (sorry, in the EU way of metricism, I guess that should be kilometerage). I won 't name the garage, but it specialises in old Volvos, so if you live here you'll know it. Price has mysteriously risen to 36,500 krone. Which just shows how much a crap old car costs here.
If anyone knows who buys it, I'd like to play "Hunt for Red Old Volvo", a bit like the russian submarine film with Sean Connery, and find out where it ends up.
