JRL, Thanks for the advice! but it may be easy on my part to convince Volvo!

Any tricks or methods to convince Volvo? Did you write or call them? If you don't mind what/how did you say or ask? Did you take the car to the dealer and left it? Mine is at home right now. Yes, this car is pretty well maintained @ 124K miles. I only drive it on the weekends. I'd like to keep it!

Thanks again!
