nah a friend has got the 08 plate 2.0td remapped to 180, love his car and found this beauty for £1100, which i dont think is bad at all!
Seems the majority of you all like it which is a bonus, i've had a lot of the other comments like, you old man bla blaa, but as said, its a lot of car for the money i find.
Premium Surround Sound - 2 8" bass in back
HUGEEE Boot
Cruise Control
Heated Seats
Dual Climate Control
Air Con
Full Leather Interior
17" Alloys
FSH
2 Pirelli's 1 Mich 1 Toyo
Plans, none as of yet, maybe possibly remap of some sort in future, but want to keep it pretty standard.
Am i right in thinking that this wont depreciate to much?
Oh and insurance is 550 tpft, me main and mother named driver.

I find my old mans V70 very comfortable and nice to drive, apart from the totally knackered rear bushes and a dead rear shock - it has covered 240k though, so it's to be expected that things wear out

Kinda like an Evo these things.
Gonna be properly expensive to run if your using it as a daily.

That's probably not far off the truth, Volvo petrols always look shocking on the fuel, I've always had a soft spot since my dad had a couple years ago.
How much depreciation are you expecting on a grand?
