Not at all - 2 of of the 3 I've missed the seller wasn't replacing the car. The D4 I really wanted (in hindsight) I'm a bit surprised they were selling privately as they were getting a brand new XC90 to replace it although they had a second car they could use in the interim so wanted to make that bit extra. In their case, selling at £19k vs probably £18k trade in is not to be sniffed at but £1k against the backdrop of what....a £55k XC90 ?? ....is unusual (damn it!)

If you havent had a test in all the various models for the seats/ride I would strongly suggest this to help you decide. I know some have said 20 inch wheels can be another step too far but always depends on what you are used to or comming from. |

I've driven a 20 inch wheel non-Design R D5 and felt the body roll was fine given the size of the car. Also driven an 18 inch wheeled D5 - it wasn't back to back but I could def feel more of the holes in the road on the 20 inch wheeled car than I'd like to.
Both were 5 gear autos and seemed ok....but not as good as the modern Honda CRV I tried earlier that day. Not tried a D4 8 speed auto (which I prob should given that's the one I want)....or an R Design - though have sat in one and def prefer the seats in all leather. I drive a Merc CLK now with the sports suspension option and quite worn bushes on 18inch lowish profile tyres and it's horrible on bad surfaces. If you hit a speed bump or pothole a bit too fast you wonder if you've broken something. |

This car has just been added to AutoTrader
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...01708118236698 The Regit website describes the car based on its number plate as Volvo XC60 5Dr SUV 2.0 D4 DPF SS 181 EU6 SE Lux Nav GTron Auto8. First registered 13/02/2014 I'm wondering when the 8 speed boxes were introduced please? It doesn't state what extras there are (some I'm assuming none) but £17000 is less than I'd expect a dealer to be pricing the car at....thoughts please? |

Hi Olly, it's a basic r design and prob no options but does have sat nav.
They seem to have a lot of XC60's so maybe fairly priced but lower due to so many. Great opportunity for you to try the different models. In terms of questions I'd want to know the EGR value issue has had the final Volvo fix - £800 job. |

Hi,
I didn't go to the Car Giant place in London yet but I did drive a local 5 speed D5 R Design to see whether the firmer suspension would be an issue for me and it's not. So yes, still looking. Just got to be patient I guess. Your new car putting a big smile on your face then ? Cheers Olly |

Great thanks but then the Volvo did too, every time I drove it!
Is a 5 speed Manual? I know the auto's had 6, not sure about manual? There seems to be loads out there so you should have your pick. I did notice on Autotrader that either some folks/dealers dont know what they have got or they just lie. Several claimed to have Driver Support Pack but no black plate on the front grille and only 2 lens things in the windscreen instead of 3. Someone also copied my advert almost word for word, even with CARE: and then obviously deleted the next sentence which I referred to the EGR fix..which clearly he hadnt had done! |
