It’s kind of disposable at this point in its life.

Since it’s Hertz, call the police on them.

Never, and please post the seller’s address so we can all rally over there with our pitchforks and torches.

My logic was that someone would want this car, and if they did it’s a NP. I love the interior. I’m not too fond of the styling, but love that it’s clean and mint green. It probably drives like crap, but if you aren’t in a rush who cares. I’m sure I could find a gray over gray one close by with a bit of rust for $1500.

I used to own a 2004 Mazda6 wagon and loved the hell out of it, and I started it with high mileage (174k) and drove it to the ground at 239,xxx miles, so I believe these have the durability to keep going.

I saw that too and thought (hoped?) that it was just the angle the pic was taken.

This would probably be fine for a “kid’s first car to drive back and forth to school because we don’t care what happens to it,” but not at that price. Volvo or not, it’s still a 38-year-old, non-collectible car.

See to me,I can find a reason to buy it.

This was a car to impress your neighbors a quarter-century ago. The mileage to date ... speaks volumes of its usefulness beyond that initial wow factor.

It has the same issue a contemporary S55 would - whatever the opposite of the goldilocks zone is. It’s old enough that you can get an interesting, more reliable, and equally fast SUV a decade newer for that price. But it’s not old enough to be a classic and there are a lot of shitty MLs of that generation rolling

NP for the location and pricing. $2000 too high most other places.

That’s a conservative estimate on mileage remaining! It could do half a mil if well tended.

More corporate-speak:  It’s a solution in search of a problem.  ND.

I understand the need for a trailer on one of these, and it makes sense for them to design it to match the rear end of the car, but the repetition just looks wrong.

Yeah. I’m not seriously shopping Jags, but I can’t think of a single model in the marque’s entire history that I’d want less.

I mean... that actually wouldn’t be a completely unreasonable method to curb this style of vehicle modification. Add a maximum height to vehicles allowed to be driven without a CDL (probably at the state level), rather than just a weight limit. I could get behind that. 

I think the seller is projecting his own failures onto the car.

You have a great mechanic.  Most would have jumped at the chance to replace your O2 sensor instead of clearing the code and seeing if it would come back.  A few years back I bought an OBDII scanner that lets me reset codes.  It has paid for itself many times over.  

The license plate can get you the VIN, the VIN can get you the history.

Last Oct., I had just gotten my car back after getting a bunch of body/structural stuff done, and had gotten it inspected. Decided to take a road trip, and didn’t get more than 5 miles out of town and the check engine light came on.
