what do you think

[stat435]

Okay so here is the deal I own a 2001 volvo s60 2.4 na with 141400 miles she has leather, cd player 8 speakers, sunroof, heated seats, I am thinking selling her just because I cannot put up with the issues

Whats gone wrong

1. radio died

2. alarm siren dead (still dead)

3. sunroof dead (still dead due to siren)

4. throttle body died

5. fuel pump leaking

6. cooling fan circuit fried.

7. large vacuum leak in intake manifold

8. memory function for seats dead(still dead)

9.struts replaced bushings replaced with heavy duty components

so I am somewhat reluctant to give her up, just because I have put so much into it, but at the same time there is still a lot wrong and that needs to be fixed,

I can find a 2001 volvo s60 t5 with 97,000 miles for 6,998 dollars

so what do you think should i keep her or get a better lower milage one for a good price.

I don't know man, I'm no expert by any means but it sounds like she may me a lemon.

Work out the cost to fix all issues.

Then determine the cost of the replacement vehicle less what you know (not what you hope for but what you know) your car can sell for.

If money is your primary motivator take the cheaper option.

Obviously there will be some headaches in the sale, finding a buyer, switching over ownership, safety/emissions tests (depending on laws where you live)... but if you have a lemon... you may never get it up to where you want.

But, I'm no expert, it's up to you. I know people with the exact same models, same year, similar mileage and one guy has constant headaches the other guy thinks it's the best car he's ever owned.
