Default unlike the a4 which looks better in person, the volvo to me photographs better than it looks

in person it strikes me as short and bulbous.

reminds me of the "chevron" talking cars.

i'm sure it's a fine car, just not my cup of tea

Default but wasnt your cars msrp new like 34 ish max... used is used...

if your car was worth 34k what is my incentive not to get a brand new ultra sport...

im not trying to be negative... but realistically the second you take title you have definitely lost value... understandly whoever buys your car used will be pretty much getting a new car... but if it wasnt a decent amount less than a new one then they would just get the new car exactly they way they want it with a full warranty.

Default yes but KBB isnt buying your car... so it doesnt matter what that number comes to

your car is actually worth whatever you've traded it in for or someone privately paid... if its 33,800 congrats cause thats amazing... but KBB is just a reference...

my car KBB'ed to 23 and change...
carmax offered 16, and audi dealer offered 18 on trade in

I highly doubt your dealer will pay you that much.
