Anyway, I left a voicemail for the dealer selling the Alpina and they've not come back to me, so fuck that guy - what else should I replace the Volvo with?
C6 RS6 Avant. I would say that, wouldn't I, but it really is both a very silly and a very practical car. Space for many bikes, tick. Auto, tick. Silly amounts of power, tick. Potential for money pit bills, tick. It's perfect for you.

Hefty
The FT had an in depth article on this today, apparently in the last financial embuggerance the order of default was mortgage, credit card, car for the majority of US residents, showing that transport was the last thing that people could/would lose, quite possibly because the ability to earn money is contingent upon ability to travel.
The other aspect that is interesting is the cascade effect -as people default cars flood the second hand market, that impacts on the values which means that others who have yet to default are moved into negative equity, so when they can no longer make the payments there's almost no value in the one thing they have left to sell/there's little value to be credited against the loan by the receivers.
It's fucked, basically.
