Hello,

THis is my second post in the forums, I hope you can help me out with these questions as the first one I posted got good replies and answers.

Two months ago I bought a beautiful 1999 S70 FWD Sedan... its really a gorgeous car. But i'm concerned about a couple things...

1. My friend came with me for a spin, he noticed the head light were beeming a little off place, in other words, they werent straight. He said that there was a posibility that this car was in an accident or something... I really didnt give it a thought as I got Carfax and plus I bought it from a Volvo dealer and its a Volvo Certified used car. He went ahead and told me that sometimes Carfax doesnt catch accidents... if the accident is not reported to them, then nobody knows. Then I started to get worried. But then I got more worried when I realized the car came with a fog light button yet there was no fog head lights. I've seen other pictures of my car and noticed that where the fog lights is supposed to be, my car came with small plastic grill on each side covering that area. Now i'm thinking maybe this car WAS in an accident and when rebuilding it they forgot to put the fog lights.

Before I go to the car dealer to get to the bottom of this, I would appreciate tips and suggestions on what to ask or maybe just give me some ideas on whats going on here, like I said, i'm terribly new to Volvos.

2. This question is a little more serious because this might end my ownership of the Volvo.
I just got my Volvo Certified Used Car info in the mail (letters, ID cards, etc). I saw that on the card it said that it expired on 12/29/04 or 100,000 (whichever came first). I"m like "WHAT????" 12/29/04???????? I was under the impression that since they (dealer) said that it was 6 years warranty or 100,000, it would be six years from the date of purchase, not from the date of manufacture!
I was shocked, this doesnt makes sense... how can they say whichever comes first , the date or the milage... milage i understand.. but date??? How the heck am i gonna reach 100,000 miles in 2 years?????? Just doesnt make sense.I called Volvo Certified office and they confirmed that that was the case and that I should take it up with the dealer. Which I am!
Now, did I get dooped or is this really how the Certified Volvo deals go? What should I tell the dealer or should I just accept it?

I would appreciate any comments or suggestion on both questions.

Thanks in advance!


Peru y tu?

P.S. I bought the car with 35,000 miles.
