New Volvo owner

Captain Kremen · Jul 20th, 2011, 21:15

Took a bit of a risk, but sold my 2007 Skoda Octavia Scout & got a 2001 XC70 2.4 auto.

I know the fuel will hit me, but without the loan for the Scout & the money I made on it I am quids in, & being metallic cherry red with cream leather interior, is is just a lovely place to be.

I am gambling on the Volvo being long lasting & reliable, the Scout had done 73k, the Volvo has 140k but drives beautifully.

In the nicest possible way, I hope I don't need to post here too often!

Thanks. I am starting to use it properly tomorrow so in a week I should know if I did the right thing.

Bit late now anyway!
