Default Wtd: 960/s90

After having owned my 2007 S40 D5 for about a year, I've decided that I'm not going to bond with it in the way that I've usually bonded with my Volvos. The S40 is just 'not me' - its too modern.

So I'm looking for a mint 960 (or even better S90) saloon. But here is the catch. I also own a LandRover V8 which has cost me several £k over the last year or two, so it has to be a SWAP. No cash top ups.

My S40 D5 (180bhp) has just 81k miles up, has an extensive service history, recent RainSport tyres all round and has no issues whatsoever - everything works. Inside its mint. Externally although there are no dents/scratches, the bonnet and roof look like they've been peppered by a gritter - there is no rust but it looks like dandraff and they could ideally do with a respray (hint - don't buy a car in the rain). The only reason for the change is that I'm bored with it. I paid £4k for it, but realistically I value it at £3.5k

The 960/S90 has to be a saloon as that's what the missus wants. It has to have leather & heated seats - again because thats what she wants. I'd prefer a 3.0 but I'll consider a 2.5 if its exceptional. I just want something that is in A1 condition, totally rust free, HPI clear and low mileage. I've had a few before so I know what a good one sounds and drives like My S40 has no issues and I don't want to be buying a bucket of trouble

What have you got? If this advert is still being displayed then I'm still looking - I'm a patient guy and will wait for the right one to come along.

I hope I don't come across as a ****head, I just don't want to trade my trouble free daily driver for a nightmare car that someone is looking to offload Thanks for reading!
