Yes, I was looking at the 850s and V70s (T5s and diesels), but good ones are still out my budget, which is pretty low! My car's working ok at the moment, but it'll never be perfect, and I'd rather sell it before it breaks again!
I know this S90 will drink fuel, but my annual mileage is about to drop a fair bit, and I'm hoping the money I save in not being at the garage for half the year will more than pay for it. Of course I need to make sure it's in good nick, otherwise this may cost me even more!!
If replacing a turbo with a nice 6 cylinder works for Groomus then I'm hoping it'll work for me, although because I can't afford the insurance on fancy Audis I'm having to stick with Volvos.
I'm going to see it early next week, is there anything I should look out for in particular? It seems to have been serviced well enough, at each MOT, and the cambelt's got another 20k to go. Not sure what else is obvious-enough to look for when looking round it.
