This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Follow Up Comment From Catherine: Hello, Thanks for your reply. I made a mistake. The mileage is actually 34,000 on that. I’ve told him I want to walk out the door at 20,000 (that means ttl would be included). Do you think I’m pressing my luck?

There’s also a 2004, similar features, but with 53,000 miles. I was thinking of suggesting 16,000. It is on their website for 21,000.

Finally, is it better to buy a cheaper car (15,000) at 5.6% (credit union) or buying the 20,000 car at 1.9%.

In NJ. Want to know how much bargaining room I have for this car. A wholesaler did give me a range, just want to know if that is a pretty adequate range.

Thanks!

Queen of the Road: Hello there! Welcome to our blog! You have plenty of bargaining room. In my opinion, that price is ridiculous. For a 2004 Volvo V70 Wagon R ASR with 66,800 miles, prices range from $17,000 (being in above average condition) to $14,300 (being in average condition) and $11,600 (being in below average condition).

Question:   2004 Volvo V70 XC AWD

Standard options, third row seat, excellent shape, certified pre-owned – warranty to 100k or 2010 whichever comes first.

I have negotiated the price to $23,400 does that sound fair?

thanks

Queen of the Road:    I am assuming you are referring to the 2004 Volvo XC70 four door wagon cross country AWD…ok that’s a long title for any car.  The price you got was OK at best.

Above average condition is $20,855 with 26k miles
Average condition is $17,755 with 43k miles.
