XC60 R Design Lux NAV 2.0 D4 FWD AUTO 8 SPEED - Massive Spec


Dear forum folks, I'm doing the supercar thing before I hit 50 and I can't afford to keep the Volvo as well but I'd like to buy it back one day.

I'm offering for sale my treasured XC60 R Design Lux Nav Auto in Saville Grey
I've owned it since new and it turned 3 in May so Full MOT with no advisories. Volvo Extended Warranty till May 2018 (you can extend a further 3 years)
Main dealer transferable service plan for the next two services in 2018 & 2019

Literally nothing to do so I refuse to give it to the dealers to mark it up by 4-6K
just turned 45,000 miles today in regular use so grab it while you can.

Had the final EGR Fix last year, all paperwork and documents available for inspection. Plate not included but open to offers but you can see what my original plan was but i'm not wasting money on another new car. Used RS6 in my sights so need the cash for running costs etc.

its the latest 8 speed silky smooth gearbox as in the new 60/90 models and to be fair its the same VEA engine which they've got a bit more power out of but with less economy. Has Nokian Weatherproof tyres fitted so not needed 4 wheel drive but I'll throw in the snow socks just in case. - used once before I put these tyres on.

Driver Support Pack
Winter illumination Pack
Volvo On Call with App and sim card slot for wifi hotspot in the car
Privacy Glass
Front & Rear Park assist and Camera
Gear Shift paddles
Volvo Dog Guard and Load Liner

see pdf for full spec, first to see will buy, there are no cars cheaper on Selekt or Autotrader for this spec.

Just to clarify the car has Full Volvo Main dealer service history and last service was May 2017.

Next two services are covered free as balance of the original 5 yr plan that I took at the time of purchase.

May 2018 & May 2019
First service to actually pay for will be 2020.!

That's 3 years reduced cost motoring. Brake fluid was changed at yr2 as per Volvo's recommendation.

Quick update folks, price reduced to £21,500 on Autotrader last week but the RS6 I was after has been sold. So I've booked it in for Polestar Upgrade next week and due to complete lack of interest from anyone I guess I'll be keeping for a while at least. There are hundreds out there, lot of basic models but maybe at 20k+ folks need finance, which I can't offer.

Might be a good opportunity to turn this thread into a buyers guide for XC60 and i'll start with what I was looking for 3 years ago when I ended up with a new car.

It was because I couldnt find any with the options I wanted and my criteria has always been the same and I would do it again in a heartbeat but would be interested to see how others value options. Clearly dealers dont!

Option (Price New) What I would pay
8 Speed Geartronic (£1,550) £1,000 **
Volo On Call (£ 450) £ 500 **
Driver Suppor Pack (£1,900) £1,000 **
Front Park Assist (£ 325) £ 200 **
Privacy Glass Rear (£ 350) £ 250 **
Rear Camera (£ 375) £ 200
Winter Pack (£ 675) £ 300

** are my must have's

The Option i'd value the least would be

DVD Players £1,065 £ nil - kids want internet now!

And the car I would always walk away from

Beige Leather £whatever £ nil -makes me feel ill!

Not wishing to cause offence to anyone, we're all different but interested to know what folks value, what are the must haves and what is a complete no no!

Finally a picture, Volvo On-Call on Apple Watch, comes in handy...

.....as you already know I would really like a sunroof. I think they brighten up the interior nicely and great to have open when it's sunny but not too hot day.

My current car (Merc CLK) has a cream coloured interior which I personally think looks quite nice - though it's getting grubby. Most other interiors I've seen in other makes they same to have picked exactly the wrong shade of beige so I'm with you on that.

Of all the factors, interest in your car is probably most influenced by its price.

As I said on my thread in the wanted section - I've seen higher spec cars with 10k less miles only a few months older for £19K.

I personally don't think I'm going to need to pay a vast amount more for all the options you've listed and a sunroof. Perhaps a grand or a bit more over what a base SE Lux / R-Design spec will fetch.

There are very few options that add significant value (£££) to a vehicle, I suspect.
& that has pretty well always been the case.
What those options should do is make that car more desirable to purchase over the one without those options.

I imagine I will be in the same boat when we decide on a change: Stormy had over £6K of options added....I doubt I will see much of that on changeover.....but the key is I chose them for *me* to enjoy (& I love them....even the daft 'clip the kids ears' folding headrest button has amused us a few times and is handy to clear that rear view!).
Even things like DSP - an expensive option - most people won't know the benefit and pleasure of having those features. To me, adaptive cruise is now on my "must have" list for any future car....but a secondhand purchaser of my car is unlikely to appreciate that enough for it to make a difference, sadly!

Once private sales are over £10-15K that is also a barrier to many on the finance, as you said above: that is where part-ex may be the best option.

There are plenty of folk out there (myself included) who don't need finance so please don't let that dissuade anyone from putting an advert up.

I have to admit, I was very surprised that the D4 I missed was being sold to fund the purchase of brand new XC90. You'd think on a £55 or £60K new car squeezing an extra grand out of their current vehicle is neither here nor there vs the convenience.

My guess is a dealer would offer around £17.5K trade in on the car in question here and maybe try for lower for just a straight sale.

I'd be interested to know what model and spec this 19k car was, and I'm sure the dealers have more to play with when you are buying a brand new car..

The car I missed out was KP64 JYH a D4 8 speed auto registered end of October 2014, 36K on the clock, Dark blue, SE Lux. I don't believe it had Volvo on call but I think it had the rest of the spec you listed + sunroof + rear headrest DVD + adaptive cruise + detachable towbar (unused) + dog guard.

I think they put it on AutoTrader for £21950 stating offers considered in the blurb. I had a good chat with them on the phone and arranged to view it then had a change of heart and cancelled saying I didn't really want to spend more than £18k to which the reply was the lowest they'd go was £19k (£3k less than advertised!)

Stupidly I didn't go and look, even though it was only a 20 minute drive away. Not long after they reduced the price to £19800 (offers considered) on Autotrader and shortly after it went - I can see I'm going to regret that for quite some time.

Sounds like a good deal.

on the road prices MY15 pricelist gives a £1200 premium to the RDesign Lux Nav over an SE lux Nav but they both come well spec'd in most folks opinion.

Visually other than the RDesign styling you get some better wheels, crucially for me the sport seats were a different class but that again puts them apart. A lot will prefer the softer ride of the SE.

With the mileage difference I wasn't expecting offers above £20k and I'm still unsure what price to put on a warranty plus two years free servicing, oh and the EGR fix!.. makes the decision to keep it much easier when there is nothing to do to it..I'll get the polestar upgrade on Tuesday, see if the front pads need changing yet (amazed how long they have lasted) and get another two Nokian All seasons on before winter.
