Looking at 2006 Volvo XC90 2.5L Turbo. It is Volvo Certified, has 40K miles. Does NOT have leather, heated seats, sunroof, seven passenger seating. Also it is a 2 wheel drive model. Dealer wants $18,800. Want to trade 2002 Toyota HL V6 AWD not a Limited model but has leather, vehicle skid control, heated mirrors, tow package. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Metro St. Louis area.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 27, 2008 10:58 am) Why?? Good question. I'm thinking that I can get a Volvo that I can drive for another 150K (so I'm not really concerned about resale), equipped about like I'm used to with the HL, very safe and very nice and hopefully very reliable. And hopefully it won't cost me an arm and a leg to make this switch. That's my thinking but I appreciate you asking because it great to hear other's perspective.

Just wanted to give a quick update on what happened with everything with the Taurus and what we ended up getting! As far as the taurus, I had my son throw it on craigslist with an asking price of $4995. Car sold for $4700 after 24 hours- no muss, no fuss...guy loves the car and is thrilled with it. Almost bought that S60 AWD...but saw an ad for the 2009 Subaru Legacy lease deals that are going on, and it was too good to pass up for the money. Ended up picking up a 2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Special Edition with Spoiler, All weather floor mats, Satellite radio, and splash guards for $199/month with $1000 down. 24 month lease, 10,000 miles a year. Drove it right off the showroom floor...deal took 30 minutes...went to lunch and goofed around for 2 hours, came back, signed the paperwork, and drove the car home. Son loves it- win win situation. Anyway thanks for the help volvomax and everyone else! |

Need trade in value for: 2000 Acura 3.2 TL. Dark blue over beige, non-navi. Good shape overall. 1 owner. No accidents, but normal scratches and a few dings. runs well, presents well, dealer serviced. Just had 2 new motor ounts. So, generally pretty clean. far\irly recent michelins. Downside, it has 145,000 iles on it. Probably going to be offer3ed for trade on a new TSX, but looking for a reasonable figure to expect.

I must be good. It's my sisters car, and I ballparked $2,500 for her. with any luck, she will love the TSX and decide to get it, and sell me the TL for my son for the trade in value. |
