Typo, it should say 6 speed!

I have a Savile Grey XC60 R Design Lux Nav with 28000 miles. Panoramic sunroof, Manual 5 speed gearbox, winter pack and front and rear park assist. + Removable tow bar which was only used 4 times to tow a motorcycle trailer.

It is a lovely car but have just agreed to trade it in for a absolutely fantastic spec D5 V90CC. A bit scary as have never spent that much on a car. It's way more than my first house!

If anyone is after a XC60 manual R Design. I can highly recommend mine which will be available from Volvo of Poole soon. The Ixion wheels have never seen winter as I have a spare set of alloys and winter tyres. The car has been cherished. I had no intention of selling having just paid off the PCP but I have been so so seduced by the V90CC.

Volvo of Poole were fantastic to deal with.
