Briefly

My 2017 Volvo has more than 100,000 miles. It's old, paid off, and perfect for my family.
"When I bought my Volvo XC90 in 2017, I was thrilled to get a safe, third-row vehicle. With three kids between the ages of 3 and 8, the extra space meant fewer fights and more room, and reassured me that the car's safety features would help me drive through snowy roads and city traffic. Almost a decade later, that same Volvo has over 112,000 miles on it."
"Aside from regular maintenance and tire changes, the car has been reliable. Before the warranty expired, we purchased an extended warranty on the vehicle. Now that the extended warranty has expired due to mileage, I am still in awe at how reliable the car has remained. Years ago, we appreciated that the trunk could hold the double stroller, and that the built-in booster seat allowed us to drive car pools with small children."
"The financial benefits of driving a paid-off older car outweigh those of purchasing a new one. The car has served my family well, and I trust the vehicle to help keep us safe. These days, my kids have been asking me when I'm going to get a new car, and my answer remains the same - I love my car and I'm going to keep driving it."
The Volvo XC90 was purchased in 2017 as a safe, third-row vehicle for a family with three young children. The vehicle now has over 112,000 miles and continues to perform reliably with only routine maintenance and tire changes. An extended warranty was purchased and later expired due to mileage, yet the car has remained dependable. The third-row and storage capacity have accommodated a double stroller, booster seat needs, sports equipment, and family gear. Built-in safety features like mirror warning lights and a backup camera have aided safe driving in snow and traffic. The owner values the paid-off car's financial benefits and ongoing utility.
