bdgates,

Sorry to hear about your problem with Volvo of Richmond. On the other hand, it isn't the first time I heard about " bad things " about them.

Don Docksteader is ok ... but I found Volvo of North Vancouver much better & their prices are much cheaper than Don Docksteader.

I totally agreed that the Volvo S70 is a very comfortable car, which is the only reason I am keeping it in my garage. Add to that is that it is a very safe car, especially for my young sister who is just learned to drive not too long ago. I drive it at night - why ? - It doesn't attract as much attention as say a BMW or Mercedes, especially with a young man behind the wheel.

As for the price of that auto-dimming rearview mirror, all I know is that it was a one-day sale. The best would be just to call them ( 604-325-1000 ) and asked them. I don't see any harm in doing that. I know for sure you won't get the 10% off the installation, like me, because in order to get that 10%, you got to booked the appointment on that 1-day sale.

Originally, I was to install this unit this Saturday morning, but something personal and more important came up, so I am re-booking it for the following Saturday. If you manage to get this unit at that exceptionally low price, and is going to install it, maybe you can arrange around the same time ( 10 am ), then we could sit down and chit-chat over coffee during 1 hours it takes to install it. If you want, e-mail me directly ( news94@hotmail.com ).

Hope that helps !
