Yeah, unfortunate. The core of the problem isn’t so much that the car got hit but that it’s a kind of meh car that we don’t like. Wife picked wrong as discussed.

Silver lining is at least I can take my time now as far as replacements go and what to do etc. maybe lots of time   :rofl2:

The other bright spot is that you now don’t have to go through the buying process in this market.  Just sucks that it was a bit of a mistake when you bought it originally.  In a couple of years maybe there will be something better to replace it with.

Yeah to be honest I was pretty hyped for the CX9 but then saw a video on YouTube that did a mechanical detailed walk around of a 1 year old CX9 and it was rusty as hell. Like 7-8 year old car rusty. Yikes.

We got a XC90 T6 as a rental right now too and I really like it heheh.

Shhh  Mazda's don't rust.  ;D Volvo used to be a leader in corrosion prevention but it will be interesting if they get some of that process cost cut.

A gander at the bottom of an Ontario driven 2015-2016 XC90 should tell us pretty easily.

Parents 2011 GLK looks new underneath. My 2015 V60 is just as good. Both cars only Krowned once.

I think Mazda's are prime contenders for rust treatments like Krown or Rust Check.  I would say it's their one fatal flaw, but manageable with the right treatment.

Honestly I might just wait for the Canadian economy to crumble under the weight of rate hikes and pick up a 2018-2020 XC90 and just eat the depreciation.

Decent chance it comes to pass.

Another potential option is to trade the V60 instead of the MDX for the XC90. My brother turns out may not need it.

Getting misty eyed just thinking about it. That V60 has been a great car. It's still mint after 8 years and pulls like a monster.

Keep the V60. The new Volvo 4cylinder sucks, the infotainment is slow and most importantly Volvo is now firmly in the clutches of the Communist Chinese. If supporting a repressive regime is not  a problem for you then by all means buy a newer Volvo.  ;D

Being Chinese is not the problem. Supporting a repressive communist regime is.

Man the self-assured chauvinism of the local Anglo-Saxonry truly is a bit unconstrained.

P.S.: I am also a communist. :)
