Drove to client meeting today (July 22, 2008) in Bedminister, NJ from our home in Chappaqua. Trip computer averaged 28 MPG (normally 18-20 in local driving).
Negatives/fine print:
Car was just detailed and interior is in immaculate shape.
One accident on vehicle on Oct. 5, 2001 (seven months after purchase). Left front car hit by another vehicle. No undercarriage damage; total insured vehicle damages (original Volvo parts) was $1,844.16 (receipt available for inspection).
Body in very good shape except for one small ding. Front and rear bumpers are heavily scratched. Had them painted once but design of bumper leaves them scratched easily when parking with concrete barriers. Were I to keep the car, I would likely have the front and rear bumpers repainted again.
Some paint chips along front door edges.
