Some may recall several years ago I ran a 2002 V70 T5 to 240k miles, and subsequently a 2004 AWD R to 110k+. I loved both cars, esp the T5, and have spent may years looking for a replacement.
I currently run a 2014 V70 D5, and I'd given up on ever finding another manually stirred T5, so took the plunge and ordered a V60 PHEV. Now I have seen this:-

Please SOMEONE tell me its far to expensive or better still they have bought it and put me out of my misery.

I won't sell either the D5 of PHEV and I can't justify running 3 large estates plus the knackered Jazz I got for £1, so I have to pass on the T5, and its killing me...

Cheers
Bob
PS Its in Galashields- what a great ride to go see it too...

I passed this the other day, it's sitting on the very edge of their fore-court by roadside, saw the price and thought it seemed a bit dear for a 15 year old v70, but I did think it looked absolutely miiiiiinted !
Now I know it's a T5 I'm thinking it's maybe not so overpriced after all ?!!

Go buy it Bob !! Cancel the milk-float order.

yes its over priced. but it is low mileage road tax price is also an issue for me. it dose look well presented though. im not tempted i allready own 3 volvo cars plus some others and some motor cycles . some one will buy it.

Too expensive for a 15 year old car? Yes...

Too expensive for a superfast, well built, reliable executive estate car with 70-odd K on it? Hell no.... find another.

Too late it's gone already.

Second chances do not come often, if your heart & your bank balance are in harmony then go for it!
