2008 S60 T5 FWD 23k miles $19K out the door
Sandberg Volvo in Lynwood
On AutoTrader here

I am heavily leaning toward the 2008 model year due to mileage and warranty remaining not to mention 2 years newer and it has heated seats (goofy I know but I live in Idaho). Both are Volvo Certified.

Other thoughts on '06 vs '08? I'm heading over to Seattle on Friday.
Thanks!

 

No brainer here...See if you can get the price of the 08 lowered to $17k from $19k or meet them in the middle and say $18k. Since both vehicles are $2k difference from each other, I would go with the 23k in miles. Same amount of money, really but better mileage and you still get the difference of Factory warranty!

 

^^ Agreed! The 08 with less mileage is a much better deal....

 

Thanks! They are offering it to me for $19k out the door, so that is just under $18k before T&L.
I've been a bit swayed in the last few minutes by the S40 class... Oh dilemmas. OK, if I go S60 than I'll go with the '08. Any thoughts on 60 vs 40? I have two young kids and believe it or not, it seems the S40 has more room in the back although this will be a secondary kid car and a primary dad car!

In fact: See this deal: http://www.sandbergvolvo.com/invento...rrent=1&size=9

 

OK, I am going S60.

Now, it boils down to two S60's, both 2008, both in Seattle.

Barrier Volvo:
2008 Silver T5 18,460 miles @ $18500

Sandberg Volvo:
2008 Silver T5 23,729 miles @ $18000

I think I am opting for the original Sandberg Volvo S60 due to the heated seats. The scales have to tip somehow, right?

Or make the trip to PA, I have an R for sale

 

S60 all the way! If you have 2 kids, you will be kicking your self later because of the room, IMO.
