Just bought but not collected a car that I have always wanted to tick off my list of "attainable" cars to buy

Nothing particularly glamorous or special but we don't always have to have exciting cars on our list, just cars that appeal to us

Car in question is a Volvo V70 T5 but in manual form, an 850 T5 estate would have been nice but not many nice ones, did not want a Japan import and really wanted a manual

I know I have paid too much for the car but could not find another manual for sale and it appears to be immaculate - collection day will soon see if that is actually the case

Do I care that I have paid too much - not really as its what I have been looking for a while

Did much the same with the Tuscan, paid more than most people would have thought was sensible but the history folder was incredible and to me that was worth paying a premium for

We don't always have to be rational do we?

As long as you are happy with the car why worry?
Post some pictures please.
This is the car, 2005, T5 SE, full service history with 16 stamps in the book (main dealer and specialist). Agreed on a price a smidge over £7k which I'm ok with
