Mine is a 2007 Volvo V50 wagon. The small wagon...

It's ok for running to and from work or local errands, but I started to realize that I should probably get something else when I was reluctant to take it to Tahoe this summer or to Santa Cruz the other day.

AC doesn't work. Windshield Washer doesn't work. Even after new breaks, tires and wheel bearings with balance and alignment there's still a slight shudder at highway speed.

I think the front suspension needs rebuilt. It's getting to that point where I don't really want to put 1500 bucks into a car worth like 2K.

Plus I'm renting pickups regularly at work and just want one now. I'll just charge my company back for mileage on mine. The trick is to find a real truck that has 75K miles or less for less than 30K. It's kinda slim pickings.

I love it, but I can't believe it's almost 20 years old. It's getting harder and harder to maintain it.

I see videos from people’s dash cams but I’ve never even thought about getting one.
