It is worth more as these show. Don't get hooked on the new car deal. Your car has a good reputation as a reliable car, unlike earlier S80 Volvos. The S60 is a fine car.

Go to the NADA web site or Kelly Blue Book (KBB) web site and run your car to see what trade in value is. I dare say it will exceed $3K even as a trade in unless it looks bad, runs bad, needs tires and is worn out or high mileage.

Your banker will also tell you what your trade is worth, especially if they may get your loan business.

Answer 2

You can go to a search engine and find what vehicles are worth. I'm sure That a 01 Volvo is worth much,much more than 3k,unless it has been damaged or mechanically unstable. We just got $7k for a 01 Grand Prix GT. Traded for a Chrystler Pacifica 2006 and 18K boot.

Answer 3

Sell it youself, ask a price and be ready to negotiate, it is a mistake to buy the car and trade in your vehicle, you usually get ripped off because probably they are going to ask 2k more than you got to a potential buyer.
