My 2004 XC70 has 289k km. Problems cropping up, mostly cosmetic. Fix or sell?

Hi Volvo, For your info, the average age for a car in the U.S. is about 11.4 years and going up. Its not uncommon to see a cars mileage approaching 300, 000 now a days. You are fortunate that you are stilling driving your car and may have time to make a intelligent decision. It does sound like you are going to be doing repairs on a regular basis ( this is taking place of a car note). I would have the car inspected by a certified shop to determine condition of car. If you have been thinking about replacing and can afford it, now would be a good time to do this.

Without looking at the vehicle, we would be doing you a dis-service offering you any advise. It would be like asking your doctor if you should get a cast on your arm. Without examining you and taking an x-ray, I doubt any recommendation would be made. We would be happy to evaluate the vehicle and review our findings and recommendations with you. You can reach us at 301-881-9429 Thanks Scott Folley
