From Uruguay with my V40

Hi to all, after a sold my AE101 Corolla beacause it's engine failed and the cost for repair it was more than what I was willing to pay, I begun looking for a new car. After two months of searching and checking many many cars but nothing really convince me, I went to see a Rav4 that really didnt was my cup of tea but it was the one that convince me the most, but on the way back to my house I come across an interesting car, and I leave a note... not hoping for anything, two days later I got a call, and after that this photos

After a little back an forth the previous owner the car was mine! a 2001 Volvo V40 2.0 (B4204S2) with 203.000kmts and so this journey starts.

The car is in really really good shape, but there are a few things to fix and a lot of things to improve.

Thanks guys for the kind words! I'm really really happy with the car, It's been working fawlessly and exceeding my expectations

Now checking the pictures in my phone I came across the first picture I took to the estate when I leaved the note asking the PO if it was for sale.

little I would know back then that the note leaved in the windshield would work

They are GOOD

looking cars aren't they. Just been washing and polishing my V40 and it still looks mighty fine to me.
