So onward and back on track. I want the volvo.

The overseas delivery, upon further research, does have some BIG negatives.

If I ordered today, due to summer shut down, I'm looking at the earliest pickup (deilivery there) in sweden is begining of Oct. I have to make full payment of the car 1 month prior to that date. Which means I would be making the first payment about the same time I see the car for the first time, in sweden.

Worse news... it would then take 8-10 weeks to recieve the car in michigan after my test drive around in sweden. So I would be making 3-4 payments on a car I've only test drove.

Not too mention not having it and being forced to drive a loaner from either my bud (truck) or mom (her fusion that she barely drives).

I have a dealership looking for cars around with what I want. Then maybe see if they want to deal on price. I would like to at the least get the 3.4% off I could get with overseas delivery.

Actually its a daewoo..
