I'm probably not the right person to advise on this, as I didnt research too much into T5's in case I got to the point of really wanting one.

There is a lot of information on the Volvo Owners Club website though:

Thanks. I'll take a look.

The LS400 is a great barge and I'd happily own one again. Just be aware (and read Garlicks profile) that suspension components are expensive.

Mine averaged around 20mpg with a mixture of motorway and town driving and the 1UZ-FE is an absolute peach of an engine.

I'd much rather have one than the usual 7 series or S class suggestions

Thanks.

Well, my Mazda is in the garage this afternoon with some sort of suspension/wheel component failure. So, I'm getting the feel for that already

The LS is the most appealing barge to me at the moment.

Remember the MK4 comes with all the modern bits and looks alot newer from the front, with xenon lights and vvti engine and the 5speed gearbox. LS430s at the lower end of the price scale could be in your budget however they seem to have alot more gadgets, great if they work not so great if they need fixing.

Also the V8 is very refined and quiet, when you are getting V8 mpg its nice to get a bit of V8 noise as well.

Sorry, £1.33 a litre. I'm a plonker.

Thought you might have a secret supply .

Or work on an American army base .
