VOLVO S/V40 SERIES T SE 2003

I've been a Volvo man all my life - parents had a 340, I had a 480, then 440 and then I bought this S40 in 2009.
Shortly afterwards though I got a company car so gave this to Dad, who serviced it annually and got whatever was needed done, but to be honest it suffered a little being pottered about in, sat about and often scratched around Devon. It's a ten yard car! He then stopped driving around 2017 and it sat still for a few years.
In 2020 Covid hit and my company car went back - I got the Volvo delivered back up to me in West Yorkshire, to put back into service. I have also treated it well and serviced annually, and this year alone it's had new cambelt, water pump, front calipers/discs/pads, I completely refreshed the front suspension with new shocks, top mounts and various linkage things, front tyres, alignment and probably a lot more - and since 2020 it's had lots of work to keep maintenance up such as brake lines, new battery and many other bits 'n' bobs. Also had a new windscreen the other week.
The car is a cockroach, It just keeps going and has not once let me down.
But it is tired and I've always wanted a 5 series touring. I've been looking at PH, AT, gumtree and ebay for years, and one came up locally at the right price last week and I ended up buying it immediately. I feel like I've cheated on the Volvo :( I know these cars are worth not-a-lot as they’re saloons, and something has gone a bit weird at the front end in the last month to cause a clatter (I think one of the new top mounts may have failed), plus the seatbelt webbing is fraying and will need a new belt, plus I've had to unplug the amp as I think it's popped. But, I would drive this car abroad tomorrow without hesitation. As a comfortable and reliable car it’s a steal. I often drove it to Blackpool for work - it's a proper workhorse.
Cream leather, heated seats, lumbar support, ice cold aircon (never regassed, just works). Will miss this car massively.
£500 and please take it away and give it a good home someone. Leeds. Photos from 2020 after a good scrub up and polish.
