Can you go to chain parts store and get the codes for free? They won't clear them though. Tire deals are out there. There is also a market out there for parents shopping for safe Volvos for their kids. $2K might be easy to get. The question is, how much does it bug you in other ways(?) Does it drive well, are the seats OK, are there creaks and groans...It's possible that a newer car might cost more to maintain, and cars of this era are now more familiar and a little cheaper to fix, newer models, more electronics, less simplicity. Are you happy with your mechanic, and do you negotiate or ask for discounts? Our cars are not always considered "totaled" when there are some fixes needed. Or, it might be time for a deserved upgrade. I recently did well selling my '97 850 with 256K mi, '06 V70 wasn't free though
