Gonna be properly expensive to run if your using it as a daily.
luckily i work only around the corner so can walk to work  , so just social miles at night to the gym about 4 miles away or to wherever
Bearing that in mind, first week of new car always going to be more then normal as you just want to drive, get used to it etc

Just been looking at these. To insure the S60 R, its £1500.
Not bad for a 21 yr old on a 4WD car with 300 BHP.

D5 is a decent choice I think, Was considering one before I got the BMW, interior put me off a bit

A lot of car for the money. Fucking loved my S70 T5 for the shock factor. They don't hang about at all. But as said, you will be a regular at the pumps

can only imagine what a t5 would be like on petrol. But yup, a HUGEE amount of car for the money, luckily as im young a lot of mates want lifts from town for petrol money at silly hours, soooo kind of like free motoring.. ?

My boss has the estate version of that in the same colour. I don't like my boss so I'm afraid I'm not keen on your purchase Lots of goodies for just over a grand though, seems like a bargain. What's the mileage?
I do like the older ones like the 850 and the 855 though

A FMIC and RICA remap will see good gains. 98k isnt much at all. My T5 was on 160,000 and made just under the sandard 240bhp on a RR

I see one round here sometimes with a black Forge intercooler sticking out the front, no other info on it other than it's dark green Proper sleeper if you can get that quick and still looking standard-ish. Nobody expects a race out of a Volvo

Iv had 2 volvo's, a 340GLT and a 850 T5R! the T5 was amazing! I got my mum to buy a V70 T5 ex police traffic car, and wow that fly's! quicker than the 850T5r. my 850 had a re-map and should of been running around 270bhp. from what iv heard, polce t5's run 300bhp ish with bigger brakes over standard!
Great cars btw, get your self on t5d5 forum. lots of good peeps on there and parts, advice etc!
