luxury cars charlotte image
Lauren
I have the luck of deciding between two cars. They are both free to me, so cost is not an issue. I know that the Volvo is a better car to start with, but is it better with so many miles on it?
Both are in comparable physical condition.
The Volvo has an engine in it that only has 70,000 miles on it because it was in an accident in 2004.
The bug is a base model and has had very little work done to it. I had to put $3,000.00 into it earlier this year for a fuel problem and spark plugs. I took it to the dealer in Charlotte and I am pretty sure that they ripped me off.
I would prefer the Volvo because it is a luxury car and has heated seats, a sun roof, CD player, and cruise control. The bug does not have any of this stuff.
What car do you think I should keep?
Please let me know if you need additional detail.

i've worked with both dealerships in service, they are both safe cars different feel of ride on road. volvos are very much like a truck feel all road.
they both can be high maintenance vehicles but u just dropped 3grand so i'd say keep the vdub. besides u just had the timing belt changed and waterpump and all the belts plus whatever you originally sent it in for.
your dub is running optimal right now and no other problems or concerns were found or you would no. sooo... save the dough cuz u just spent sum.
and volvo service is even more costly..

Should I keep a 2001 VW Beetle with 80,000 miles or a 2000 Volvo S40 with 150,000 miles?

A Volvo, when properly cared for, will get you through hundreds of thousands of miles. I've heard of some of them getting upwards of 400,000 miles. My father currently has a 2001 S80 with 200,000. I just got my '05 S40 with about 40,000 six months ago, so I can't say how well the S40 holds up, but so far I've had no problems.
A Beetle is going to have many more quirky problems. I've owned a VW ('95 Jetta) and can tell you from experience it get to be the biggest pain to fix the same things repeatedly (like the fuel pump three times in three years.)
I have no idea what the guy who said Volvo is folding is talking about. Yes, all car companies are having problems, but Volvo is not going under.
