Its £270 p/year so not to bad really!

It is rather soft; a complete contrast to what I have ever had before but i think i maybe converted to the old man style of life!!

Was just under £6500; but its stolen recovered Came with no history both keys etc and no damage as was stolen with keys! One quick call to Volvo and traced all the history bar the last but one service; of which there is a reminder sticker in the window for a volvo specialist. Another call there and now has FSH!!

Not my cup of tea, but looks to be in great condition. Well done on sorting out the service history too!

Nice buy that! Driven a few before and they're lovely to drive, you can proper hammer it down country roads and it feels smooth as anything, they're great

Director has one at work it's bloody awful, only good bit is a slight 5 pot noise but then remember its a derv.

Knowing you, you'll see sense in 3-6 months and swap it.

Looks in good condition but really not my thing.

The gear change is real smooth; doesnt have massive amounts of power but then again you dont drive it like that.

Parked next to my 1 series you can really see how much bigger it really is



I drove that lastnight and it felt loud; bumpy and strange having to change gear; whereas before that was the smooth quiet and comfy one!!
