which one

Jaytee-ex480 · Mar 19th, 2008, 06:45

should I sell,
people I need your help I placed an order for a V50 and last night took a call to say it will be ready for collection in may.
I have a V40 T4 with 101K miles (that I love dearly) and my wife has a V40 2.0L with 103K(that she loves dearly) the problem is we can't have three cars and are struggling to decide which to sell, they are both on 2001 X plates and we've had them for around three and a half years.

she thinks sell the T4 cos of its more complicated engine (but apart from when it had non volvo plugs fitted its been flawless)
I think sell the 2.0L as it (to me isn't as effortless to drive as the T4)

any advice would be welcome guys (and girls)

Sounds to me more like , which one of YOU is more willing to part with your pride and joy

?

Who is the V50 for?
Whoever is getting it sells their car plain and simple... (unless its the T4 in whaich case are you MAD!!! lol)
I would personally keep the T4 but then again with those sorts of miles on it the turbo may not long be for this earth and a replacement will set you back a few hundred....just something to think about

If they are properly serviced, don't let mileage be the deciding factor. They are both just run in!

Sell the 2.0...the T4 exceeds it in every way and when driven carefully isn't much worse on fuel!

I reckon I'll miss it

Jaytee-ex480 · Mar 19th, 2008, 21:02

I know you are right mate they are both barely run in I love the T4 too

stevo48 · Mar 19th, 2008, 23:10

Nice motor mate, I'd be gutted to let it go, but maybe the V50 will go some way to compensate.

Enigma666 · Mar 20th, 2008, 09:31

Gutted the T4 lost to a flat 2.0

Looks a lovely car, really can't believe its going!
