I wish they did R Design with the option of removing the "sports" suspension. I think quite a few people would have chosen that. I really like the R Design seats but I'm told the difference in ride due to the suspension is quite significant I'd I'd like to do all I can so as not to feel the potholes.
Wheels are again down to personal preference. I'm not a huge fan of diamond cut styles since as soon as they're damaged there's not much you can do to save them except go for a solid colour. The lacquer never seems to last on a refurbishment and it's more expensive to do. Having said that - the 20 inch wheels on the D5 on Piston Heads do look pretty cool That seems quite a fair price for a car from a dealer. I've kind of got my heart set on a 2 litre 8 speed though for the economy and smoothness without too much drop in performance. Your warranty and servicing, in my opinion, absolutely do add to the value and I'd have no problem paying a bit more - £300 maybe. |

You mention adaptive cruise - that is part of the driver support pack, which I think IS on Considered1's car (& most excellent it is too!)

Just had it done this afternoon, defo worth it on the auto box just seems as it should be now, you can plant your foot to the floor and it just goes!
Although it was chucking it down on the way back, not been able to break traction (although only very briefly with the all-seasons tyres) in 2nd and 3rd before! the Fun is there when you want it.!.. I paid just less than £720 inc vat. Excellent service as ever from the boys at Mill Volvo Service, Knaresborough... ask around nicely and you should get it for around this price including Elk who advertise on here, although I suppose they just put you in touch with a dealer? Great news on the front pads, still only 60% worn at 46,000 miles so a good amount of miles left in those, even with my lad ont he insurance now! Last edited by Considered1; Aug 8th, 2017 at 19:48. |

so you're still grinning then?
my insurer, Quote me Happy, won't cover me, but LV= will, and it'll cost me about £40 over the un-modded price, QMH were £40 less when I insured in march, so it's about £80 a year extra for the upgrade. Have to tell them..... glad you're pleased. Enjoy it:-)

Direct Line Insurance
Just incase anyone doesnt want to read the rest of this
I AM STILL OPEN TO OFFERS - NOW WITH POLESTAR UPGRADE! The bad news, Direct Line, currently (subject to complaint) will not insure my 21 year old son to drive the Volvo after informing them of the Polestar optimisation. Despite going through various tele operators who have spoken to the underwriters and NO is the answer. No HP increases until you are 25! Lets remember this Polestar optimisation is purely a software upgrade/download and takes it from 181 hp to 200hp. 0-100km is 0.1 sec's quicker - exactly! So why then do direct line already insure my son to drive his own 330 Ci Sport with 231 hp and is way quicker than this volvo could ever dream of being.. ah its a lower value car, which it is. Ok get this then, why if i change my car to an Audi RS6 that is worth more than my car, but has 560hp and 0-60 in 4.5 seconds or whatever it is would they happily take the change to the policy and want just £204.96 till next June renewal! - absolutely ridiculous. I have informed them that a later model D4 is now 190 and the new D5 XC90's etc that have the same 2.0 Deisel engine with over 200 hp, all fine to buy! If I volunteer that any car is modified in anyway they decline for a 21 year old but if it is a stock car then its fine and its peanuts to insure. I have various theories about insurance companies but dont want to waste anymore of good peoples time but value your thoughts and experiences and of course offers as I'm going to have a problem moving his uni stuff around without him driving an estate, and I really dont want to cancel the multicar policy and move elsewhere mid term.. |

Interesting to read Knaresborough Mill Volvo impressed. I am based in Harrogate and will soon be calling in to see if my MY2011 XC60 D3 Drive FWD can be Polestar upgraded.

Do you have another car you can use so that you're in a position to sell now? I can make you a much lower offer than what you're asking (but higher than you'd get from a dealer or webuyanycar) and it's going to smart a bit, especially as to me the Polestar upgrade doesn't add to the value. I guess it depends on what you want to hold out for and your motivation for selling now the RS6 has gone. |

Hi Olly, I appreciate your interest but I dont think my car has the features you desire or value and wont be going for Auction prices, I have another car and I find educating dealers a challenge but they are learning they can make money on stuff they take the time to research.
Cars come up all the time for me, looking at one this week, so I'm open to all offers by PM. I am not starting a Dutch Auction here. If you dont have sufficient posts to PM then use the autotrader link while its there. I would suggest you try a few vehicles and establish what you really want/dislike/value etc. This is not a basic R Design. Post away and ask the questions you are now starting to ask and we will help you find a vehicle that you are happy with.. best wishes |
