Need a new car. Is it silly to spend £15-20k on a lower mileage Volvo V70 or xc70from 2016? They’ve gone up in price a lot recently here.

The alternative would be a 3 year old v90, price around £25-30k.

Heart says xc70, but £15k and up for an 8 year old car feels ridiculous

How long do you want to keep it?

They run forever and a week so if you look after it it could easily work out at £1000 a year.

As long as it makes financial sense. Sold my previous v70 at 260k miles as the heating system gave up, was too costly to fix.

I know they last ages but still, feels way overpriced

Yes and no. My parents d3 shit itself.

That's a painful price for an older @kboy. I don't think low milage is always good. There must be a sweet spot for milage, previous owner, service history.
