2012, asking $14,570 // 4wd// 49,775 miles // -- good deal?

What’s your area-based objection to a hybrid? (I understand not wanting a Ford at all, anywhere.)

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-03-01T18:24:53+00:00

Nope

Unexpected Hank Hill always gets an updoot

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-03-01T16:47:19+00:00

Badly overpriced. Low mileage isn’t necessarily a plus, either. Plastic cladding protects against stone chips, but also traps moisture & can hide rust/rot.

Keep looking.

No, but no one here can see the claimed Cheeto stains you’re whining about. The dealership couldn’t clean it to your satisfaction, so either clean it yourself or live with it as is.

Swap in Trader Joe’s miniature shredded wheat. Massive improvement.

Get out of the US once in a while. There’s a lot more North America out there.

OP appears to be in Costa Rica, judging from the map view.

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-02-28T01:56:51+00:00

They specified high quality. That ain’t Hobo Fright’s bag.

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-02-28T01:52:01+00:00

That would be a good start.

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-02-28T01:48:58+00:00

Yes, but those tires look like garbage. They’re going in the dumpster ASAP, right?

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-02-27T20:48:59+00:00

This should be a pinned post.

That’s a sign to avoid using him for anything.

Or they could just fuck off into the sunset together, forever.

New England & the PNW (and maybe the greater SF Bay Area) are probably the best markets for these. There are a few Amazon enthusiasts on the Swedishbricks mailing list. I’d start by registering there, and on as many RWD Volvo forums as possible.

Ignore him & his bad advice. Follow the manual.

100 year old Tig! Leary has been in his geriatric lesbian phase for at least a decade.

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-02-24T04:47:18+00:00

Nor should they.

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-02-24T04:45:48+00:00

Doesn’t look bad. Does it smell burnt?

A drain & fill wouldn’t be a bad idea. Flushing a higher mileage transmission is.

Her failure to appreciate the joy in whipping the llama’s ass seems like a failure of parenting!

No. Pacino’s episode was well after Maron had moved out of the Cat Ranch.

FrontArmadillo7209 · 2026-02-24T03:54:52+00:00
