My 2000 Volvo S-70 with 309,800 miles on it finally died.

So I am in the market for a new vehicle to drive around the highways and byways and to tow my boat.

Any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Volvo's last forever as you know with a car with 309,000 miles. Look at their new suv's.

309k miles since 2000???  You drive a lot...I mean a friggin lot man lol.

Here is a suggestion... http://www.commutercars.com/

GO ELECTRIC BABY!!!!

Or you could look at an Altima from Nissan.  They get pretty decent mileage I think and it's a good looking car.

Anything with a HIGH MPG.

P.S. 300k miles in less than 9 years, well done my friend! WOW!

I think a Chevette or a pacer or better yet a Gremlin baby. Oh yeahh that is what I am talking about.  

But seriously, Um I do not know. Just had to ad my smart " " answers.

Well I think something with high MPG's should be on the list.

id say the new z71 i saw them new for 28000 and they get 24 mpg not bad for a 5.3 v8 its also got 4 wheel drive with lockers for all your off road excursions

SS

BMW X5

I just bought a Ford Focus, if you are just looking for something good on gas and to get around on this is the car. It didn't cost like $12,500 and it has good room for a small car. Don't know about the pulling

it would do but I guess anything is possible. I also just bought a Ford

F350, drove it yesterday and it got 7.9 mpg :-/

How about a Volvo C30.  It's boxie but good.....

go diesel baby. august, new jetta TDI's coming out. mid 50's in mpg's

Ford Fusion my mom got rid of her gas guzzling Expedition and got one of these and it gets like 31 MPG

Toyota Camry, quiet, smooth, reliable, and just a great overall vehicle.  If I was to ever buy a car that would be the one unless I was looking for a luxury vehicle.

My buddy used to work for Toyota and he got his wife into an 08 Camry. I agree 100% on everything you said especially the smooth part, its extremely smooth. I would call it the closest thing to a "non luxury" vehicle you can buy.

I've got a 2003 Toyota Corolla and I've had no problems with it, plus it gets great milage around town.

I would buy a used Yugo.  

:

New Car

1. Honda Civic/Accord

2. Toyota Camry/Corolla

3. VW Passat/Jetta

I have a Jetta with 130K on it and it gets about 24-28 MPG depending on conditions and how I drive.   They have pretty good resale value and if your use to a Volvo you may want to consider VW as a first choice.  Nevertheless, I have had issues with my Jetta to say the least and would only recommend it as a distant third to Honda/Toyota or even their respective luxury brands Acura/Lexus.  

Happy hunting.

i'd just go and buy another volvo

So far it is either a Rav4 or Roadrunner from Toyota.

I still have to look at the Hondas, Chevys and Fords.

Son called and told me to look at the small Lexus SUV.

Now, can you see anyone pulling a bass boat with a Lexus SUV?

I looked silly pulling my bass boat with my dead Volvo.

The Porsche looks like a good deal until you realize that I can't put my fishing equipment in it which I carry with me all the time.

Still looking.
