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. |

Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 30, 2008 8:28 am) How many times have I had to defend volvos in your presence, Isell? I've lost count. Lemme ask ... you still have yet to own one, correct? They can be VERY troubleprone as they age. CAN be as they AGE? I'd love to know what car CAN'T be troubleprone as it ages. I'll put it simply ... it is just anecdotal, but at least I've been an owner of both ... I've had 3 volvos and 4 hondas in the family over the years. Volvo still ranks near the top of my shopping list at any given time. Honda is near the bottom. |

Craig, not sure if sonsumers reports means anything to you (I'm sure you agree with the Honda rankings!), but over the last few years, many of th emondels (at least the ones that have been around) rate very well. the S60 and V70/XC70 have both been excellent (well above average, and easily up with Honda) back at least 5 years. Oh, and if you want more anecdotal, our odyssey has been well below average in the 4 years we have had it. The Nissan it replaced was bulletproof by comparison. |
