In that very sentence it says that in the end.
The mileage on my car is very low (13,000 miles) for the 2 years I have had it and the offset of use comes to less than $3000. This is all I am supposed to pay in case of a replacement (I checked with the attorney general help line). The dealership wants me to pay this + difference in invoice prices of my car and the new car they are giving + taxes + licensing etc... summing up to ~$6000.
And because of their polite threats, I don't want to deal with Volvo ever again and don't want to own one. So I figured I should ask for repurchase. It is their threats which are making me angry and annoyed. They claim I use to leave my car in the shop and not come in to pick it up and hence it has amounted to 35 days. This is absolutely untrue and a way for them to push to get a new Volvo by paying $6000 rather than going through arbitration. In addition to the $6000 I will also take a hit in the 3.9% interest rate that I have on the remaining loan.
Thanks for your good wishes. I need them.

That's your sentence - where in the WA state site does it say that?

Hi,
Here is the link to the Washingotn Lemon law brochure. On the second page, see point 3 for the conditions for a lemon.

If I am not understanding it right let me know.
Thanks

I was referring to the part where you wrote "fixed or not".
 
You were referring to the days.

I have copied and pasted the Point 3 from the webpage. See in bold. That hasn't been added by me but is actually in the brochure.
OR
3. A vehicle has been out-of-service for
diagnosis or repair of one or more nonconformities
or serious safety defects (whether
or not repaired)
for a cumulative total of 30*
calendar days, with at least 15* of those days
occurring during the “warranty period.”

I then retract - I read right over that at least a dozen times.
 
I guess I was looking for the word fixed and subconciously skipped repaired.
 
In any case, good luck.

Is the problem is flow of fuel into the tank backing up and tripping the pump nozzle? That certainly would have me shaking my head that a $30K new car built by as experienced a brand as Volvo can't design a gas tank to displace air without vomiting gas back up the filler spout as the tank fills up.
 
Here I thought I found a super duper fit for my needs in the V50. I've been internet browsing for quite a while now searching for a newish vehicle and, on paper anyways, thought I found my next new car. My last Volvo was a 79 244DL that I drove for 13 years.
 
I assume since your dealer changed the fuel tank twice, they tried filling the tank and didn't try to buffalo you with "Unable to reproduce problem."
 
So, does anyone else here have a similar problem with their V50?

Stripes on the rear passenger side window? by motorhead59

Look like defroster stripes to me, and seem perfect to clear out an area to let me see what would otherwise be a blind spot, but I was told they're an antenna. If that's the case, where is this antenna on other vehicles?

Low Beam Headlights by bcbc
Nov 27, 2007 (5:34 pm)

I have a 05 V50T5 AWD and the low beam headlights drop off after 25ft in front of my car. Nighttime driving is dangerous. I have had it in the shop numerous times and they claim there is nothing wrong. I am going to the NTSB with this and want them to determine if it is safe or not. The dealership says everyone has the same problem with the car driving at night. I have several complaints in with Volvo and they continue to send me back to the dealership. Is there anyone else with this problem and has anyone resolved it?
