Is this worth it?

[Axl]

A mate emailed me this earlier....he thinks so, bloody green again though!...


Volvo T5 R 7 seater excellent condition mot nov 2011 taxed july the interior is half leather half alcantara it has graphite alloys with two new tyres the paint is in great condition for its age there are a few scuffs to the front valance but overall its in very nice condition. There are a few bits that need looked at one being one of the calipers is sticking due to being parked up it also has the water light staying on not sure whats wrong with it the car goes through no water or oil just an electrcal fault. Other than that the car drives very smooth and is a delight to drive .There is loads of history with the car stacks of receipts including the one that my wife paid for it the car is priced to sell considering the bits that need done also the plate is staying on the car Bargain

How much are they asking for it?

[Axl]

Forgot to put it in :redface:.......1450

[p fandango]

depending on mileage i'd probably pay that, & i'm not a fan of the green. From the pics it does look like a well looked after standard car

[Axl]

Miles are 120000 odd, only you two replied I though I'd have had more than that.....the green's still putting me off though

[si850r]

id say so....looks and sounds like a clean car mate..its the 7 seater to which is handy and I quite like green ones...is it a manual?

[Axl]

It's auto

[T5frankie]

i didnt like the green too much till i owned one, it really shines a nice colour in the sun, i have seen them go cheaper on ebay lately i just sold mine for £1100 with less miles

[Axl]

I kind of thought it was to much but at the same time I wasnt sure, plus its green

[mick850R]

i was'nt keen on green either until i got mine but when they're cleaned they look mint!

[T5frankie]

i wouldnt have a green 850r but i like the green t5-r's lol the olive green is cool and looks really nice cleaned up in the sun

[t5 stealth]

I kind of thought it was to much but at the same time I wasnt sure, plus its green

how about this..........try looking for one in a colour you do like then...
as im guessing you dont like green. :crazy:

PMSL, but he still beat me on time but not on the 1/4 mile but he only had a terminal of 95 to my 100mph? bloody complicated this 1/4mile stuff :).

I noticed i was into 2nd gear by the time i reached the staging light's all of about 25ish meters, i think low torque in 1st would be good to get a smooth rolling start??

I think Volvo are taking the digital age a little too far if thats the case. What you need is a good old set of progressive analouge brakes.
