I need to fins a thread that has pics of forum cars, need to see more pics of the grey (osmium?), as there is a rather nice one second hand that ive my eye on, but not sure on the colour..

My MY18.5 which went back last week was Osmium, sadly dropped colour now or I might have repeated. Fantastic colour (ok...in a typical understated volvo ‘grey’ way!) looked good clean or dirty, classy and very popular (I thought) so I’m surprised you’ve not seen more

Haha, i like the bit about clean or dirty!, that would suit us! Black and blue seem to be the most popular... There’s a few on Saxton 4x4 website, but their photos aren’t great for showing the colour... Got any pics of yours? I’m guessing you’ve traded up for new? What dealer did it go to, might be worth seeing if its up for sale...

Where would you put your money? Looking at autotrader I’d say theres about £4K difference in price for a car with 35-40k on it and a car with 80k on it.. Is it worth the saving?

In general: Yes but also look at the state of the interior. It tells you a lot about how much the previous owner cared about his/her car. I'd go for the one that looks the closest to new and lowest mileage will usually come automatically :-)

Some older pics of mine in Osmium Grey with blond interior and walnut trim.

On my monitor the first 3 pics depict the colour accurately, the 4th pic slightly less so.

Wow, I love that combination!
I have the crystal white with the blond interior but this is even more classy.

To add to Lexman’s pictures, here is a slightly grubby Osmium photo, this time in RD spec MY18.5

I’d certainly recommend my ex-car to anyone, in beautiful condition and absolutely faultless for 3 years / 29k miles (albeit most of those pre Mar 20!)

Trouble is finding it - last seen heading to Aston Barclay’s auction site in Pres, likely to pop up at a dealer / fleet auction there anytime soon I suspect.

Thanks Director.. I’ll definitely keep an eye out! What size was the battery 10.4? And what about the fuel tank 50 or 70lt?
