Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

it's a beast...

So, newer sneak Volvo V70 with less miles, or a slightly older 2.5T or even a T5?

Looks like I can get a 130k miles T5 from '05, or a 7k miles sneak one from '06 for similar monies

To clarify - I'm not a car nut in any sense. The key reason for getting it is we need i bigger car, comfy over long drives, reliable and hopefully fairly cheap to keep going. Being decent on petrol is a plus, but we don't drive enough for it to be a major point.

So, with that said, low milage sneak version sounds good no? But then again, a bit of power under the hood is tempting...

Forgive my Volvo ignorance, what is a sneak Volvo?

I was about to ask the same thing!

ah sorry, thought it'd be a common term, i meant the basic engine options - 140/170bhp, instead of 200/210/260 bhp on the more powerful models

Is that a Rolls grill ? B-)

One for the gifs thread but I thought it might be appreciated in here:

not sure if that's a thumb up or a fist shake?

It *can* be done but you need four times as many asterisks.

God above...

Jesus wept - my guess is that you lot like VW's?

Something like that!

If we are talking about red cars, I might throw this in the pot.

^^ 'near full service history' but last serviced 2006, 9 years ago.

What could possibly go wrong?

These Japanese cars only need servicing every decade

My car hasn't got a stamp since 1986!
