Which totally random used car am I looking at today? April 6, 2009
Posted by richard in : Uncategorized , trackback6 April 2009 – Volvo S60
IT’S still a good looking car, you know, the S60 that’s just passed me while I was out jogging. Sleek lines and a coupe rear made it the coolest mid-size Volvo ever. A car that so really should have been a BMW 3 Series rival.
They never quite cracked this, which ultimately did for it. So, there was no direct replacement, it lingered too long, then quietly disappeared last year.
Too quietly, I hear; Volvo dealers were frustrated that they had customers willing to order, but no cars in stock! S’pose if ever there were a positive problem to have, this is it.
Jogging, tonight, though, I wondered how much I could get one for. Hence, the introduction of another new category.
Which random used car am I looking at today? An ad-hoc rundown of random stuff I spot and start thinking about while on my travels. All, rest assured, will be bargains.
£1500 is the answer here, for example. And that’s for a whizzy, fully-loaded 2.0-litre turbo, in gold, not yet a decade old, with heated leather seats and bags of gadgets.
Being a Volvo, it’s a bit soggy anyway, so there are no fears about high miles snuffing the suspension crispness. The engines are good for it, too, even if the servicing may be more of an issue (generally, it’s dear. I’d find a specialist).
And if fuel costs did prove too tippy, I could even convert it to LPG. Volvo sold these as factory-fit LPG cars for years, so there’s plenty of knowledge out there.
I’m almost tempted, you know.
You can see what’s coming. I reckon this series might be quite fun…
