I asked if he would be willing to take his original buy it now price and he did,kindly picking me up from the station and making me a brew and ensuring I liked it before he would take any money. Lovely bloke.
I wanted a V70 ideally but as you say some of them fetch a lot of money.
Sounds like a top guy. It´s always reassuring to hear stories about transactions that go through smoothly, such a shame that tossers and tyre kickers seem to be in the majority in the used car market! Or maybe Volvos attract a better quality of vendor/purchaser?I wanted a V70 ideally but as you say some of them fetch a lot of money.
Anyway, enjoy the car, updates are always good!

I agree there should be more 5 cylinder engines out there - the one in my Alfa (2.4 10v diseisel) is a gem. A Mk.2 Focus ST is now high on my list of cars to try.
The Focus with the 5 cylinder turbocharged engine is bloody great. Likes a drink mind but I'd take one over any of it's competitors. Hell even the SMAX with the same engine isn't a half bad steer.

That looks lovely, if I was in the market I would go look at that.schuey said:
You're not wrong,I nearly hit my driveway gate when I got home,I thought something was jammed until I did a little research. It's like turning a ship after the W124 with its taxi turning circle!
Yep - i've got a 5metre + LS430 that could get into tighter spaces than the Volvo. Think the turning circle is 13m or so in the S60? Blame it on the transverse engine i guess.
You certainly will have favourite multi-storey car parks - i.e. the ones you can get into!

It was on eBay,it had been on with a buy it now of £995 last week then relisted after a fraudulent bid but on a normal auction with a £900 start bid. I asked if he would be willing to take his original buy it now price and he did,kindly picking me up from the station and making me a brew and ensuring I liked it before he would take any money. Lovely bloke.

Wow, sounds like it was a great transaction. My hunt continues as I have next week off work. I wanted a V70 ideally but as you say some of them fetch a lot of money.

How could a car like that possibly be bad. And look at the environs. Leigh on Sea. That's like everywhere else used to be before it became hideous. Can you remember when people yearned for a semi- like that, when the successful bought them and parked a Double Six like that out front. Nowadays it's electric gates, grey metal window frames, illuminated walls and a white Audi A7 on the block paved drive. It's hateful.radiodanno said:

Lovely, but I always thing a grey is a missed opportunity on these. They carry all sorts of crazy colours so well.I want gold, yellow, lime green, baby blue, burnt orange etc

Back in the day my father had a 4.2 in a vibrant yellow, he was stopped frequently by the police for speeding, he claimed at the time the colour attracted their attention I want gold, yellow, lime green, baby blue, burnt orange etc
The seven looks elegant in silver on radial spokes. What's up with the bonnet alignment? I know the E65/66 have some big fans here but the E38 really is the zenith of 7 series design, isn't it? Bangle must've been on drugs. Or maybe he had a thing for big girls.
Edit: it's the ambers and the black trim that make it look so good. When the sills are colour coded, the body work looks too deep relative to the window graphics.
