Having trouble finding a nice V70 D5

[italian job]

Been looking for several weeks for a looked after V70 D5 SE manual gearbox with a budget of £5000 that could be stretched slightly for the right car.Been looking on here,autotrader,e bay and have posted wanted ads on several volvo forums,anyone got any other suggestions?

Cheers Paul.

Basically your budget is too low for a low miles, manual D5.

You can get one...

....but it will have 150k miles on it and that one doesn't have leccy seats (not a big issue really).

For reference I got my car for 5.5k in april this year - 103k miles 52 plate D5 SE auto with winter pack.

Cheers for taking the time to reply,i'm not too hung up on low mileage,more concerned with finding something that has been looked after,money spent when its needed,that sort of thing.
Cheers Paul.

I tried to buy a V70 from Phil Whittaker Cars (he's a nice man) but I found his asking prices VERY high
and he wouldn't accept my reasonable offer. A couple of weeks later he called me to ask if I was still interested
in the car at a cheaper price ...... by which time I had bought another .

No doubt that looks a great car.

But you would lose a couple of thousand in depreciation as soon as you drove it away I reckon. Too much money.

Believe it or not still looking,have sold my car now so have a budget of £7000.

I love to see cars still running well with that kind of mileage,it gave me the confidence to buy a D5 with 112000 on the clock.Good luck with the sale.
