The car isn't really "certified", if it's at a used car dealer. Not a bad price.

No cover from other traffic moving near the same speed. Made me wonder how anyone keeps a driver’s license, that way.

It’s certainly interesting, but needs timing belt soon, plus clutch, windshield, and speaker repaired. Seems like a dear asking price given the needs...

Assume another $2k for the inevitable clutch that you know will go within a week after getting it despite “feeling great” to the PO.
It’d be more interesting if the timing belt had been done or the asking price $2000-$2500 less.

I still feel like the car is a little too posh for me
Her water looks to be hard water so a good buffing might be in order to really get it out though my paint is in really good shape. A guy at work commented on how shiny it is.

As for price, it is one of those cars that is damned near impossible to judge. Closest comp I have is from August for one with 11k more miles that fetched $10.6k at auction. Few more months have gone by, but the lower miles more than offset that. I'd venture a guess at $11k. So $13.5k-$14k is fairly reasonable.

I like this one quite a bit, but 92k miles is very much pushing my comfort level. I'm all too familiar with Volvo needs at about the 100k mark.

Sat in some new Jeep Compasses last week at the dealer. Like 'em except their mpg's are a bit sucky. Had a red over black cloth demo with 3430 on the clock asking $21.5 Also had a gray over two-tone cloth seat, white/black, looked very nice, a new 2020 but wanted almost $28K as I recall. I'd go for the demo if I were in the market to be honest. Just caught my eye to be honest.

Edit: went outside and everything worked fine when I started it.

Will wait till I get home and see what coupons the VW store has. Also, want to get the brakes checked as I might need to change out the front pads or possibly the rears. Last time checked, told me things were fine. But now that I'm over 62K, want to make totally sure and if close, would rather just get 'em done. Luckily, after this trip, won't be driving too far in the near future.

The last one died on me days before I was to leave on vacation, where I would get a bunch of steps in. I hustled to Target and found the Inspire on sale. Used my credit card with the generous warranty benefits instead of the 5% off Target Red Card because there's a decent chance I'll need the warranty if history is any guide.
Hell, if I could get that for $10k, I'd suffer sleeping on the couch for a week after my wife finds out.
