If you're a single mom, and on a limited budget (as many single moms are) then I would skip the Volvo. It's a great car, safe, practical, and good in all weather. BUT, the maintenance on this vintage car can be a challenge. If it's had everything that Hoonk suggested (as the T5 that my daughter is driving has), then it could be a reliable car that serves you well...
Or, it could be a huge money pit, and I would hate to see you sign up for that...
