I have....
Purchased the Volvo!
It drives sweatly. Aircon nice and cold, and it's also hot!
No odd sounds whatsoever. The engine humms along. Put your foot down, not only does it go, it starts to growl, loudly, as you get near redline at 7,000rpm!
It is nice and refined. Leather is in good shape. at 60+ the car is reasonably quite. Can't hear the engine. Turn the radio on, and all you can hear is the radio. Brilliant car.
The seats are oh-so comy, the started first time and within 1 second. The entertior looked surprisingly nice, and the looks for top of the range Sport Pack model, it looked pretty good aswell. Twin exhausts, as i said, gives a growl.
Everything works on it, we found cruise confusing, and so getting the mechanics to check and fully fix before we pick it up.
It's going to be Valleted and checked.
Tax'ed and Mot'ded, Nov 09.
Bad points? It does feel it's age a bit.
The front splitter, is cracked, and broken on the right hand corner. (pick one of them up cheap)
1 of the alloy centre cap with the Volvo logo is gone, (pick one of them up too). A very small chip in the windscreen. Gonna get that sorted.
Apart from that, she drives a dream. No odd noises etc. A good motorway cruiser with a good 2.0litre engine, with a nice bit of poke, good sound. etc.
I say, good car! Oh, and a very nice Blue colour aswell. Tyres are almost new all round. However, they are crap Hankook's, or w/e, they add to the road noise a bit. But hey, what can you do
