S60R is a good shout - any more details?

Axeboy · 15 Dec 2009 at 19:50

Aye, over budget... £7400 but from a main dealer.

Wanted a bit of warranty and comeback at this value.

Cack colour... blue/green.. but ill have to make some sacrifices
45k
Full volvo SH
Just been serviced (part of the deal)
Fresh MOT (again, part of the deal)
Usual R kit.. black leather

They look fine in that light blue colour, shame about the A4 Avant.

Nice car the S60R, lovely engine sound as well.

iaind · 15 Dec 2009 at 19:54

I think that looks awesome, the colour and the wheels are really cool

Axeboy · 15 Dec 2009 at 19:55

Seems to have decent kit as stanard.. akimbo xenons, dolby sound system etc

Its no back road beast, but its a good comfy cruiser with a bit of power. My mechanic knows these well which swayed me over.

Cooling issues... possible signs of hgf..

Not confirmed, but without work and money on investigating i thought it best just to ask for the deposit back boo000

Ah, I was thinking 'Crikey.. are they THAT cheap now?'

Hang on.. you've just paid £7400 for an S60R from a main dealer? Volvo main dealer? Approved Used?

Crikey thats good value.

Nice buy at a good price, can't go wrong!

And I guess this thread highlights what a daft comment this sort of thing is, I dont think I'll ever understand why people say 'Can't go wrong!' when it comes to cars, especially as its very, very, very possible to go very, very wrong when buying used prestige cars (Infact used any cars!).

How old is that volvo? Seems cheap for a main dealer low miler like that

It was up at £8k... just came in yesterday.

Got it to 7400 with fresh MOT/Service and a full tank of fuel. Always funny how haggling always comes down to the pennies...

HPI'd all clear... they say they never take a car in that has history.. might be dealer chat.

Axeboy · 15 Dec 2009 at 20:10

Should have said, has a private plate thrown in too...

It was registered end of Jan 04... 53 i assume then?

Axeboy · 15 Dec 2009 at 20:11

I thought id paid over the odds for the security...

Ive seen some S60r's recently drop to about 5 or 6k private...

[TW]Fox · 15 Dec 2009 at 20:16

I'm not saying its cheap more than its suprising that a main dealer has bothered with a car of that complexity and value. Was it a Volvo dealer?

Axeboy · 15 Dec 2009 at 20:27

Yup volvo dealer.

[TW]Fox · 15 Dec 2009 at 20:30

Impressed.

Axeboy · 15 Dec 2009 at 20:31

Some volvo deal on at the moment gave me free vehicle replacement insurance too... id rather the cash off though

thepeteh · 15 Dec 2009 at 20:33

It probably is just me, but are those alloys genuine volvo ones? I only say this because of the center caps... the colour... is not particularly my taste... but I do love volvos especially the hot versions!
