Wtd - lpg xc70

warninglight · Mar 31st, 2014, 13:10

Not just now but getting the feelers out as I'll likely want an XC70 to replace the C70 later this year!

Not sure I want to take the power loss that goes with the D5 after a T5 and I've heard reports of 30-35mpg in D5 form, surely a turbo petrol on LPG would better that!

Reasoning - Winter (And Spring/Autumn) in Cumbria with my commute means ground clearance and AWD are very very useful things to have. Even when it's not snowing I have to wade through far too many floods in a week!

So;

Nice spec
Manual or geartronic
Ideally no more than 150k as I want a keeper!
D5 or already-gassed petrol

I'm travelling between Cumbria and Cheshire every week so can travel most places to view!

As I say, will likely be June/July at least before I want to change, just seeing what's out there and likely to be coming up

Funny that, my t4 goes tomorrow and I thought about changing my xc, now she's all sorted. 2002, silver, black leather, climate, auto, lpg donut tank in spare wheel well. 139k. mot March 2015, tax February 2015, full custom stainless exhaust, lots of other stuff.

Sounds promising! As I say it'll not be for a couple of months at least - need to sell my old Land Rover before I'll allow myself to change the Volvo...

Any idea on price? Is it a turbo model?

It's a 2.4 turbo 198 bhp. Five speed adaptive auto, not sure on price, I was thinking of changing sooner rather than later.

Still on the lookout for a suitable XC70 in the next couple of months!
Pacman has realised how good LPG is so is keeping his! Can't blame him!

Doesn't HAVE to be LPG, but if it's petrol I'll be converting it. Would take a nice D5 too.
Slight preference for manual but won't be a decider.

In Cumbria but will travel anywhere in the UK for the right car!
