What cars are for sale out there???

Hi Ladies and Gents

As a previous S60 owner I am struggling living without one. My original 2003 S60 d5 SE took me to 344k miles and I absolutely loved that one. It ended up blowing an oil seal behind the flywheel, and coupled with needing a clutch and dmf it was just uneconomical to repair. I sold it for spares, borrowed some money and purchased what was meant to be an upgrade from this very website, a facelifted 2005 S60se. Turned out to be a right pup and I lost a lot of money in a very short period of time because the Geartronic gearbox was fubar. So I sold that for a huge loss and with no money to add to it I had to settle on a 2.2 Vectra Estate, which in all fairness was a bloody nice motor. My circumstances then changed and my mileage went from 75 miles a week to 75 miles a day, so a 2.2 petrol was not ideal. So more money was borrowed and a Toyota Corolla Verso 2.0d4d was purchased. It’s been boringly brilliant in most ways, but I have hated every one of the 19000 miles I’ve done in it and I am hankering after a return to the Volvo life!

So here I am asking if anyone’s thinking of selling their D5 engined Volvo any time soon. Could be an S60, S80 or V70. No starship mileages as I will be adding plenty onto it, no geartronic or any auto, pref SE Spec or above as I loved the Dolby prologic stereo and all the toys. Budget is topping out at £2000, but I know what these are worth so please don’t come in with your £1500 car saying you coincidentally wanted £2000! I live in Lincolnshire and can travel, but within reason.

Hope this isn’t being unrealistic and thank you for reading my ramblings everybody.
