As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. That may be true in most cases, but when it comes to a car one local couple purchased in 1986, they got a lot more than they ever imagined they would.

Dr. Wesley and Sida Roberts recently saw the odometer on their 1987 Volvo reach a milestone few cars will see. The station wagon reached, and surpassed, the 600,000-mile mark Thursday afternoon.
