Stumbled upon this that we were quite smitten with.

We were at the BMW/MINI dealership first where this wagon is being sold, but didn’t know about it until we came across it at the Volvo dealership where it was apparently getting serviced for the BMW dealership.
Not a bad replacement for the past Polestar. Certainly a bit softer, but that’s kind of a good thing at this point.

And definitely not better than the Polestar, but we thought it could be a tamer less expensive version.

Only one Macan, an S model. She was considering a base Macan this last go around. Would’ve been interesting to see how that went.

Overall, the Accent is a very good vehicle and meets all her needs. It's the base model which suits her just fine. I'd have gone with the top model and gotten the alloys, roof, and SAT radio but that's not her, so she's good.

So probably wisest to just do the repair and spend the $350 and be done with it. And just hope that nothing else will go wrong here. Wait and see what the 2021's look like and go from there.

So yep, that's the plan going forward and will fix it. And save myself a lot of dough right now.

The rationalizations we CCBs go through. If I get something newer it resets the clock, so I won't be driving as old of a vehicle, however many years down the road, when we are paying for the Jetta replacement!

We have purchased 200k cars from Hertz and Avis in the last few months. So many that it’s disrupting the used car market.

It also has a good bit of grunt down low which is surprising consider how small the engine is.

Now this leads me to Friday afternoon and one stop sign running lady in a Volvo XC60.....RIP my beloved '17 Cherokee.....I will miss you. While it hasn't been officially totaled I don't believe it will be resurrected from its current state. It was towed to impound and they didn't tarp it, since Friday was such a nice day I had the sunroof open so in addition to the significant damage it already incurred it now has a drenched interior. Should have the official word this week but I'm starting to look around since we are down to basically 1 vehicle unless we swipe the kid's Escape.
How do I even replace the perfect car?

if you liked it that much, just get another one. Maybe a couple years newer.

We are all more or less ok, my knee is banged up, I have a concussion, my little guy is scared to ride in a car, hubby is bruised and sore.
I hit her going around 50 mph, I never even had time to react, she stopped right in front of me.
Good to hear from the old-timers.

@jpp75 ended up with a CPO 2017 V90 CC - didn’t need the extra space but really wanted the T6.

$50k is quite the budget. I’d suggest a look at a slightly used for any of those, especially the volvo They depreciate fast. Maybe the rav4 is the only one that makes sense new. Very very different pricepoints there, though. Just get out and test them all.
To add to the list, how about the CX5 turbo? Used bmw X3? Used benz GLC?
