VIN: YV1SW592162555460
First things first -->Salvage title
Insurance totaled the car b/c it was flooded. You can see here:

Wrecker bought it, had pro job done on carpets, sold to us (2nd real owners).
You cannot tell and there are no odors whatsoever.
We had a good mechanic (Volvo Pit Stop) check it out before we bought it.

We've driven it about 18k mi since April 2019.
Volvo Pit Stop mechanic could not have seen the clogged oil pickup tube that left us stranded at midnight July 2020 on I5 (yes, we pulled over almost right away when the warning came on). Nor could it have seen the carefully wiped away improper sealant and gaskets at the pan, all fixed now. Still, bad taste with whole family in the car.

Now a series of items has come up. Bad alternator, leaking radiator, overworked fuel pump, front oil seals ...
We've paid for the work but lost our interest in keeping the car. It is in great condition - now - and would be worth investing in (struts, tires, brakes before too long). Here's the Craigslist ad: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/ ... 18082.html

Thanks,
Tarek
