My T5 is now sold & I feel a tad excited but also quite sad !!
The gentleman phoned this afternoon and asked if he could come and view the car this evening, he told me he'd already owned a T5R several years prior and was after another Volvo. He arrived in a lovely 5-Series Touring and after brief introductions he was keen to inspect my car, although he said he didn't know too much about cars - he was certainly looking in all the right places for signs of accident damage.
He asked if we could take the car on a test drive, perhaps to a petrol station as the low fuel light was on - I knew he really wanted to see the car under fluorescents - I had absolute no objections so off we went.
He kindly asked if he would be permitted to 'test' the engine and brakes, I agreed and shown him a straight country lane where the T5 could 'stretch its legs' and then throw out the anchor testing the brakes. I was quite happy to be sat in the 'Death Seat' (ask a copper) as the chap drove with enthusiasm, although driving quite fast - always smooth & in control.
£10's worth of VPower and quick drive home, he made a call to his wife for whom the car was intended, to see if she would like it going off his impressions. She said 'Yes'.
Deposit's been paid :biggrin: but now I'm feeling as if I'm losing my best friend !! :cry: The car will finally leave on Saturday morning :wave23d:
After then......will I still be allowed in ere??
