Car update

quick update on the car:

1) the damage was over 25k....ouch

2) Volvo is taking it as a trade in, repairing and then reselling

3) We are getting a new suv, paying the difference post insurance claim and trade in

4) there wasn't a SINGLE 2011 (2012 hasn't gone into production for the finish level we have yet) in the country or in Sweden. They only made 15 2011 with the finish level and color we had.

5) somehow I managed to remember that there was one on display in Vail that we saw last weekend, found out the contact info (it was still owned by corporate, so no dealership to deal with) and we are officially going to own it as of Saturday-posession by next weekend, thanks to hours of phone calls.

6) our last one did not have the DVD/navigation options (we opted out of them) but this one does. Thanks to my pleading about trying to get it, Volvo agreed to sell it to us for the same price as the one we purchased without the additional options.

7) this whole fiasco is costing us between 7-9k.

8) I will now be taking a taxi to the airport, even if it does cost an arm and a leg.

End of very long drawn out story.

Re: Car update

  • I would be more annoyed with the aggravation than the extra out of pocket money. I am glad you are getting the new one sooner rather than later. I am sure you can't wait for this all to be over with!

  • Ugh, what a pain! I am so sorry you have had to deal with all this and the small fortune it is costing, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I agree, taxis or shuttles to the airport from now on!

  • Glad to hear that the end is in sight, but so sorry you had to deal with all of this!

  • What a hassle!  I'm glad you were able to get the car you wanted, but it sucks it ends up costing you money in the long run.  That, I find, is the worst thing about insurance.  It never usually ends up covering the entire cost of what it would be to get back exactly what you had before.
