Car hunting

[adamr8965]

2004 I believe was the last date of UK manufacture, I think they went up to a 54 plate, but you may luck out and find an 05 or 55 plate one (it's not unknown for cars to sit around unregistered for a while after arriving in the UK).

Thanks for the info, think it would be hard going to find a 2.2 hdi exec estate on 54 plate.

I've had my T5 Volvo exactly 2 years now (just sailed through its MOT today) and have had not one single problem. If the sub-30 mpg puts you of then there's always the D5 which is quite fruity.

Having said that the BMW Diesel is superb as I understand.

Congrats welly but didn't i read somewhere that volvo's , being
an old persons car regularly pass mot's because of the low mileage as the driver
often shares the daily travelling between car and mobility scooter

Mmm... breakfast!

Newest exec I've seen was a 53, you might get an 04 SE - & just have to remember the seat position yourself.....

Yeah been looking around seen a couple of 110 hdi se on a 04 but nothing much else at the moment really

The SE is a nice trim level, not far off Exec spec; the half leather seats are very nice, are quite rare, and are highly sought-after. You can bring it up to full Exec spec without too much difficulty, I gather

SE has some bits that my exec didnt, nicer door handles, a nicer gear knob, i believe the exhaust tip is stainless steel, and best of all the silver effect dash, with white speedo dials and chrome rings.
