Back into a Volvo, xc70 purchase

[Roger Woods]

I decided that the Kuga was not upto towing task so it’s been a couple of years since my last Volvo so time for another

2015 xc70 d5 133k miles auto, I have had it 3 weeks and a thousand miles, seems a good one

Whopper of a tip run first thing this morning with it, have to love a Volvo for doing pretty much everything you need from a car!

Great tools.

I've got one of the first on an 08 plate, does all asked of it very well but I keep thinking it won't last forever and what to change it for and ikeepcomi g back to another one, albeit a bit newer and a bit less leggy!

Looks good in that colour combo

Davie, I have had alsorts of cars over the last few years and honest nothing does family duties like a v70 or XC, I currently have a Golf R, the XC70 and a Mini JCW and almost always I grab the Volvo keys, great cars

This thread has spurred me on to want one….

Post 2008, AWD, Auto, either petrol or diesel
Economy not that important, nice to have 200 bhp or above
I want something sorted, reliable, decent condition, nice for it to be sub 100k miles


I can not quite get by head around if I need to be paying £7k or £14k

Links to descent ads much appreciated.

To give you an idea, mine was just over 10 grand, I will run it for many years

Well I’m 6 months into ownership and all good, the black is proving to be a fag to keep clean

Towed for the first time last Saturday, all good and pleased I’m back in a Volvo for family duties
