Your friend is out of line. Sheesh, I don't even know you and I am genuinely happy for you...always wear your seat belt and change the oil every 3 or 4k miles!
My wife and I gave up working with the miserable Volvo dealerships in northern Virginia (Don Beyers Volvo is the worst in the US!!!) and ended up getting the deal we wanted from a tiny little combo Chevy-Volvo dealership in rural Pennsylvania near Scranton. They must have had 500 Chevys and 5 Volvos. Anyway, they allowed me to put the tax, title and tags on a mileage earning credit card to the tune of around $2,500. However, since they were in Pennsylvania and I reside in Virginia, they made errors on the paperwork...Fed Ex'd me a refund check for the full amount originally placed on the credit card and some new documents to sign. Sent back the corrected documents and they recharged the $2,500 to the credit card again! Woohoo! 5,000 free miles.
