My 2000 V40 1.8
Only had it a couple of months

When I bought it was completely standard on steelies with trims and a knackered cloth interior - £600 with tax and long MOT
Wheels were £80 off ebay
Complete T4 Heated leather interior was another £80
T4 Sports leather steering wheel £20
Wood dash centre trim £15
I've changed the oil, all the filters and plugs
Only significant expense has been replacement of the VVT pulley which was rattling its nuts off and fitted a new genuine cambelt & tensioner kit - not cheap
but I really like the car and the cambelt was the worst I've ever seen - the specialist I took it to reckoned it was the original belt - the car has just clocked 100k !

My beloved 854 t5 (manual) in a bit of a smash recently but being fully repaired and should be as good as new when finished! Well that's the plan anyway

I've got a Garage entry and Readers' Cars thread going for my first Volvo, a spec-tastic V60 D5 SE Lux. I'm more pleased with it than almost all of my old performance cars:
