I would say they are not green as they have high emissions, and fuel consumption can be terrible around town (about 15mpg for our 2.5T geartronic). At that age various parts start to perish and deteriorate too. I agree on buying an older car - just not that old and spending a but more. Mind you I've never paid more than £3,500 for a car (our current V70 - bought at 8 years old with 75,000 miles) but that can still get you a much newer Volvo hopefully with something more modern than a cassette or CD player.
