just been to look at a volvo v40 (auto) it the petrol cd viersionlooks good but has 115 on the clock  what do you guys think of them

7 stamps in the book had a £1000.00 service in nov  08 from volvo   looks like new inside and out looks good just 2 spots were the lacquer has peeled a bit but looks easy to fix

its a p reg if that helps never looked mutched into vovlos befor so dont know much about them or any probs they have

dous any one on here have on if so how do thay find them

do you find the boot is on the small side  or with a 310l roof box it will be plenty as i have a garlet Meridian 8 and a 3 yr old with all his bits and bobs

ok cool thanks will give them a try

thanks just put a post up so will see what comes back

i like the look of the car just need my mec to give it the ok but want to know more about them

the oh is no so keen as it has leather seats and she dous not like leather

How about a rover 75 diesel? cheap as chips, bmw engine, nice big boot etc.

I bought mine nearly 3 years ago with 90K on the clock and had no trouble with it. Been to France camping in it doing 3K miles in 3 weeks without a problem other than the number plate falling of!. Wales last year with the roofbox and bike rack on, boot full and still plenty of room inside.
