I bit the bullet and bought a Volvo V60 T6 R Design 2014, it's white and has only done 25k miles. It was bought directly from Volvo as an approved car rather than an auction. Bought through an agent.
The actual car was only around £7k but everything else will cost around 4.5k. surprising how "cheap" the cost of just the car is though.
It left last month on a ship carrier and should be arriving next month. Obviously then I'm anticipating a 3-4 week wait while it gets registered etc. the agent told me the longest part will be waiting for DVLA?
It's definitely been a long wait so far, maybe made worse by the fact I'm borrowing my dad's old honda civic lol.
Only doubt I've had is in regards to sourcing parts, most stuff is available but has to be cross referenced with a parts catalogue (a couple of websites available) and then I have to search for the part number on Google or eBay for example. Will be a bit more time consuming than just using something like eurocarparts
