It's on the Consumer Reports "Used Cars to Avoid" list. I wouldn't touch one, the Volvo I HAVE is bad enough.

Interesting, I looked it up on the kbb.com website and they give a trade-in value about twice what you paid for it.

Maybe you could take it to your Honda or Toyota dealer as a trade-in and keep pointing to the kbb price???

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." -- Douglas Noel Adams (1952-2001)
