Should I trade my Mondeo for an XC90?

I am looking at buying a 2004 Volvo XC90 for £6900, which includes a trade in for our 2010 Ford Mondeo Titanium. Do you think this is a good deal?

This is not good thinking at all. You have a relatively new, reliable car. Why do you want to buy a money pit?

Handsome-looking, safe seven-seater brimming with kit and practical touches in its high-quality cabin. D5 is the one to go for.
