Addition - V40 TDi..

**JUDGENINJA** · Friday 15th August 2014, 19:49

I know Liam and others are prone to drunk car purchases.... My fall down is surfing eBay when tired..!!

I've just 'accidentally' bought a 2000 Volvo V40 TDi....... Oops......I know I'm going to hate it!!

This make you laugh - Advert stated, "collection within 3days", so I tried to arrange to collect tonight/tomorrow. Seller just messaged back to say,"I'm not back until Monday" this gives me basically one day...shame I'm off to Wales on Sunday for a week then Yorkshire for 2days!!!

Will post up my views on it when I get it home.

I think I may need to accelerate the sale of the S40.... Anyone want a T4 (or the diesel if I hate it that much)...?????

The diesels are nippy upto about 80 then they seem to slow down lol,you could map it too 143hp up from 115bhp or am i thinking P2 engines again,the p1 might have only 110hp.

Who knows...?? I'm getting it on the 26th, but I doubt I'll be making any performance changes to it other than a set of wheels.

I hope you didn't pay more than £300 for it.

I love a bit of drunk eBaying

310 quid looks alright that

We've got the 102bhp phase 1.5 and its a brilliant car it certainly wont disappoint

Sitting on train.. Sorting insurance(£224 with 0 NCB...lol).

Shortly be off for a 2mile walk to the garage to collect it.

Fingers crossed the brakes aren't too bad, but I'll be giving all cars a super wide birth for the first few miles.

(Pics tomorrow)

Shopping list so far:
16" alloys - GOT
Leather interior.
Brakes and handbrake.

I'll be doing what Jamest5 is doing by spending more on parts than savings...but I only do 4miles to work so I am pretty cheap anyway!!

Plus at this rate this is the car that'll be going round TRAX!!

Let us know you make it home in one piece mate.

Talking of insurance, I've found the cheapest way to insure multiple cars is with a traders policy. The only car of ours they won't cover is the S70, as it's on business use insurance, but I can drive any car up to £7,500, and it's cost me £720 for the year.
