NO trade-in value! - 2000 Volvo V40
By Scott944 - July 18 - 6:20 pmThe $15k Ive spent on my 2000 V40 (purchase price plus repairs) means nothing at trade-in time, apparently because there is no demand for this model at the auctions where dealers wholesale cars. At best, Im being offered one-quarter of my cash outlay. Also, buyers should be prepared to have a lot of expensive things break by 100k miles. My dealer told me today that he was recently driving through a scary part of Washington, DC in a similar S40 sedan when the Mitsubishi-built transmission simply failed completely at a stoplight, something he had never experienced with even the oldest Volvos. Im going back to a 1996 Volvo 850 GLT--if I can get enought trade from my V40 to cover some of it!
