I would check the door sills, under neath. There is a sticky "stop the rust while you can" here on that problem.
I don't know much about Volvos except that they are great well built cars that cost too much and depreciate too fast. Like most high end cars. I would say a 10 year old Volvo with 90K on the clock isn't gonna get you to $16K.
Sounds like you have plenty of vehicles so I imagine getting rid of the Volvo is paramount. You're lust for the Crossie has put you between a rock and a hard place.
I suggest you escape from there IN THE SRT6! But then my opinion, although expert, is biased. Disclaimer; I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
Take what you can get from the Volvo and as you drive home things will seem better. Whenever you find doubt creeping into your mind, press lightly on the throttle. Such thoughts will spill away off the big wing just behind your ears.
