Does your vehicle feel like something you keep putting money into but it always seems to need more work? When facing substantial repair bills, it’s time to ask: should you fix your car or explore upgrading to a newer model? At our Volvo dealer in Norwood, we help MA drivers make informed choices that suit their unique needs and financial circumstances.
Whether your vehicle is plagued by transmission troubles, engine issues or ongoing electrical problems, unexpected repairs can weigh heavily on your wallet and well-being. Instead of continuing to invest in an aging car, consider the potential trade-in value it could contribute to a new or Certified Pre-Owned Volvo equipped with the latest in safety, performance and technology.

Ask Our Service Experts: When to Repair a Car vs. Replace It
Not sure which route to take? Consider these essential factors when deciding!
Evaluate Repair Costs Against Trade-In Value
If your repair estimates exceed half of your car's current market value, it might be time to consider alternatives. Use our Volvo trade-in evaluation tool to determine your car's worth and learn how it can be a stepping stone toward a stylish new Volvo XC90 or S60.
Age and Mileage Considerations
Vehicles surpassing the 100,000-mile mark or nearing a decade old typically require more frequent repairs. Transitioning to a new Volvo or a Certified Pre-Owned model can offer reduced maintenance costs, enhanced fuel efficiency, and peace of mind with added warranty options.
Frequent Repairs Are a Warning
Does your car spend more time in the garage than on the road? Recurring issues such as engine overhauls, timing belt replacements or electrical system failures are strong indicators that it may be time to upgrade.
Prioritizing Safety
Older vehicles may lack the advanced safety technologies found in newer models. Transitioning to a new Volvo equipped with advanced driver-assistive features can elevate crash protection and provide cutting-edge safety systems for greater peace of mind on every drive.
