North Korea Owes Sweden €300m for 1000 Volvos It Stole 40 Years Ago

1000 Volvo&#x27;s for 300 million, that&#x27;s 300,000 euro per Volvo. Granted, the article says &#x27;adjusted for interest and inflation&#x27;. But that seems wrong, if you had the choice in the 70&#x27;s to buy a Volvo but instead you put the money on the bank, you would have only the accumulated interest by now, not anything else to offset the inflation.<p>Calculating backwards with an average 4% interest rate for 45 years gives an original price of about 55,000 euro in 1971. For that money you could buy a villa in Sweden around then.

I have a 20-year-old swedish car that I wouldn&#x27;t mind keeping in mint condition for another twenty years. But how do I do that (while still keeping it in service)? Rust in particular seems to be a big killer. It doesn&#x27;t help that the manufacturer is no longer around and spares are likely to become hard to obtain. Did the North Koreans buy spares for their Volvos?

Communism always liked volvo. East german officials also had volvo&#x27;s while their people was waiting 10 years for a Trabant.
