Hi,

Im going to be looking for a V70 D5 Soon and looking for some advice on what to look for. I'm looking to spend between 6k and 8k, first, is this enough to get a V70 that will last me without major bills? I do 50miles a day round commute, mainly all on bypass @70mph.

Previously i have had a 300d Auto - 2005 i think. I sold this as the torque converter started to grumble. Because of this i would ideally like a manual, however as there is more auto's about. Should i consider a auto -geartronic i think it is named. Is there much issues with them, is a clutch and fly as much as a refurb / carryout a flush and oil change and it should be as good as the manual?

So far I think I'm looking at between 2008 and 2011, se lux or a r design with between 80k and 100k i guess. Am i about right on the above for 6k-8k?


Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
