Having driven both, in my view a pre-ME7 T5 automatic is a much nicer car to drive. Smooth gear changes, effortless power and totally reliable. I have owned a 1998 V70 T5 for more than 10 years, have increased the mileage from 99k to 186k and the engine and gearbox perform just the same now as they did when I first bought the car.

I got mine last year, around April I bought. Tis a 99 with slushbox tho'.
It had 125-ish k miles.
It had a £1200 service shortly before sale. Brake discs pads all round. Handbrake shoes, full cambelt kit too.
£1800 secured it, which I thought fair. He was asking £1850.
carsandclassics.co.uk that was. Some goodens do pop up on there.

I bought my 850 t5 manual saloon a few months ago via ebay, it had a buy it now of £1500 and a phone number in the ad, after many attempts of phoneing the seller and not ansering- i hit the buy it now without seeing the car, the car had only been on a few hours with 42 watchers,
Eventually the seller phoned me back and the weekend after i collected the car which was as described in the advert,
The thing is i knew another one would be turning up anytime soon so had to buy it,

Craig.
