You are wondering, is this a good time to trade-in your automobile?

Volvo's are exceptionally well built automobiles designed not only to be the best there is for safety, but for longevity as well. In Sweden, in a harsh climate, the average age of a Volvo is nineteen, yes nineteen years. Meanwhile the average retention of a new car in America is 5.3 years. This was not always the case. In the generation before us the purchaser of a new car was traditionally every three years. The manufacturers could count on this turn around. Many manufacturer's cars failed to last longer than three years. In fact one automobile manufactured by one of the big three was designed to rust out after 100,000 miles. Today 200,000 miles or more is common place.
Then it was observed in Detroit that certain European automobile manufacturers were building a better automobile. Volvo was just one of those makes. Meanwhile Ford copied the Audi 100 and came out with the Taurus model in 1978. Chrysler and General Motors quickly followed suit. So today the purchaser can rely on performance, longevity along with many added features. With Volvo many of those features relate to safety while other features relate to exceptional performance. As such the result is the sheer enjoyment of driving his or her Volvo.
So lets get back to the question, is this a good time to trade-in your automobile? You bet it is!
Your automobile will never again be as valuable as it is today! Yes, we sell new automobiles, but then we are also in the used or pre-owned automobile business. Some of the trade-ins we keep and offer them for sale, (those trade-ins we believe to be exceptional), while others we will wholesale. Whatever the condition of your trade-in there will never be a better time to trade than today!
A further note: Just why are our pre-owned automobiles so valuable? For one, we thoroughly examine every automobile considered for a trade. We will give the purchaser of a new Volvo the very best price for his trade. And then , in our examination, we will take out the dings, replace the battery, if needed, perhaps the brakes or tires, so that each pre-owned automobile that we deliver may receive no less than a 3,000 mile warranty.
As such, ..... lets get together and find that very special automobile for you, a new Volvo or perhaps a fine pre-owned automobile. And remember ......At Bergeron Volvo there are NEVER any added or hidden charges!
