You'll be joining another parade unless you work on it yourself.

What's that $29,900? I hope that is something other than American money. The listing doesn't give the mileage on the car. You can have just as many problems with a Volvo as with a BMW. You want less trips to the mechanic get an Accord or a Camry. rmmagow and I are just being honest. I have a 97 850 that seems to always have something wrong with it, and a 98 V70 that does not have near as many problems, but the mileage is lower. These cars are good to 300K, but you have to pay maintenance to get them there.

paid $12,500 for our 90,000 mile 01 V70 T5 less than a month ago. All options except navigation system, all service done at dealer per manual. Only issues are that the ABS computer is starting to flake out (less than $150 to have it rebuilt if you) and the brake booster is starting to hiss (waiting on dealer quote for that one). Otherwise car is perfect. I'd say the one you are looking at is WAY overpriced.

30 grand seems a bit much for a four year old car.
