Maintenance and repairing are easy as fuck, parts are cheap and easy to find

This is a key part here. Often the cars that meet these are not as sexy and get looked over.

    As a serial Volvo owner, have fun replacing the blower motor if it dies.

    Blower motors are rarely easy in most cars. It wasn’t great in my 71 BMW either. But I recently had the pleasure of replacing a battery in a 2017 BMW X1 and that simple task took me 6 hours. Maintenance on new cars is ridiculous. I love this guy’s simple approach to happiness through anti consumerism. It’s definitely a goal for me.
