My 1998 S70 was totaled last week in a collision. Now I need a replacement car. I am looking to keep it in the 18K range. For that money I can get something like a 2002 S60 certified used with about 40K miles or a new Honda Accord or Huyndai Sonata. Any advice would be appreciated.
With regard to the collision I was rear ended by a Ford F150 and pushed into a Yukon so my car was smashed in the front and back. The S70 really took most of the impact without the airbags deploying which is why I am considering another Volvo. But I'd need to get a used one to keep the price manageable. One concern I had about the S60 is the space in the back seat. It seemed cramped and I'd need it for carpooling kids once or twice a week.
