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...
