This gets an entirely undeserved NP, just because you’re never going to see another one in this condition.

A Jalop special! Row-your-own gears, boxy, and at less than $4k, it’s a great deal for a relatively low mileage, driveable ride with character. I’ve always loved these Volvos, they remind me of elementary school pick-ups. Definitely a nice price, even though a longroof wagon with the turbo would be the holy grail.

That’s where telephone poles come from, right?

It’s actually surprisingly difficult to weasel out of if the client fights it. I see this a lot because in motorbike sales, everyone and their dog modifies their bike. Basically the manufacturer needs to go to court and prove beyond a doubt that what you did specifically caused the specific issue.

Yes you can. Read and understand the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. I haven’t read it in a while. But I think it says that automobile manufacturers cannot revoke a warranty solely because you modified your vehicle.  They can void the warranty if they prove the modification caused the failure.  This is Jalopnik.  I expect…

Eh, $1500 for 50hp ain’t all that bad all things considered. What’s stupid is that you can have the same performance increase while leaving your warranty in tact for $500 more. That’s not a deal many ICE owners have offered to them. 50hp is definitely noticeable, even in a street car that rarely gets driven truly…

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. You can just buy the real Tesla upgrade for $2k via the phone app that controls the car. It couldn’t be easier. Definitely not worth risking the warranty or updates or even just having warnings popping up all the time in a $50k car to save $500.

Flash tuning voids warranty, film at 11.

This is no dice on every level. It leaks, shit is broken, no mileage listed, it’s old. And I wouldn’t consider the engine swap exactly an upgrade over the stock 3.8 minivan engine this thing left the factory with. I’ll keep saving for a Bronco.

I know how he feels. I constantly post opinions like “Raisin Bran #1 cereal” when in actuality that is not my position.

it’s a nail-biter!

Well aren’t you just the wettest blanket. 🤣 

I’ll have to hard disagree on that one.

And no third row? I was like “well, maybe” until I got to that spirit-crushing picture with the hatch open. The third row is what makes these cool!

Man . . . I WANT to like this, but the red flags are flying. Just rebuilt and already it’s up for sale. Uh-oh. Cheap respray? Uh-oh times two.

Don’t use quotes, come on, are you new to the internet? Never used google before?

I wasn’t aware of the name change, but I gotta say I’m happy you were brave enough to change it. I’d never thought of the ramifications of the expression “crack pipe” (not a native english speaker), but I do agree it’s negatively charged and references a very sensitive, racially charged subject. I can see the backlash…

Calm down, dad.

I like the new name and thanks for the change.
