How many times can you buy a Volvo?? 200

Although this is a 740 tale, I'll post it on this side, since this is where I normally hang out. In 1992, I bought an '88 745 GLE. I drove it for about 9 years, but then I ended up with an extra car (long story). My neighbor had been wanting to buy my 740 for months, but I did not want to sell it. Then one Friday night he came over with beer, and since I had the extra car at the time, and he had beer, I ended up selling it to him. About a year later, he got a sweetheart deal on a 760 Turbo wagon, so made me a deal I could not refuse on buying back the 740. So I did. I drove it about another year or so, until my brother decided he had to have it. I still had one car too many, so I sold it to my brother. Then this past weekend, a year later, my brother called from Nashville, and made me a real deal for me to buy the 740 back. So, its back in my driveway! It's like a boomerang! With all the transactions, I figure my total purchase costs, less what I've made selling it, put me just under $10,000 for a great car that I have "owned" for 12 years and 245,000 miles. And I -still have the car! (and, no, its not for sale!)
