Man of Honour
So my current V70 is getting to the point where it may become uneconomical to keep repairing. It's a phase II 2.4T petrol and whilst I love it, the old dear has clocked up around 160k. I'll keep running it until it dies but I fear that time may be soon and contingencies should be accounted for.
I'm kind of married to the Volvo brand and have been looking at downsizing from a V70 to V50. I love the space and flexibility of the V70 but most of the time I just don't need the space and I'm finding it hard to justify the premium and running costs of the slightly bigger brother.
I'm looking at the 2.0 Diesel D3 with a decent trim, ideally SE Lux Premium, but it depends what I can find. I'm looking up to 4 years old with a budget of around £10k.
So are there any issues that I should be aware of or any advice from current or previous owners?
