[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 3840052, member: 22"]I found this on eBay.uk Volvo XC90 Same as my older one but newer. [ATTACH=full]318525[/ATTACH] Its a work vehicle, (a van with windows) My other one developed some turbo and intercooler problems which would have cost more than it was worth to rectify. I did not want something too new as they get damaged carrying junk, however a work vehicle earns me money so it had to be reliable. I searched everywhere for days. Used cars in my area are expensive because it is a dead end and the locals won't travel to get a bargain, so dealers put high prices on them. I did a 13 hour round trip to view this one and a 10 hour round trip to pick it up. Private seller, Volvo serviced and no expense has been spared in maintaining it. I saved around £4k on list price because it only had one key fob and it was on Irish plates. Volvo key fobs are very expensive and some folks have an aversion to Irish plates. It was St Patricks day when I left a deposit on it.:hilarious: Its only done 2000 miles in the last 4 years. The owners both had strokes and are unable to drive anymore. I've taken out the 5 rear seats which makes it the SUV with the greatest cargo space. Its a dream to drive and I fear too good for work. I took my Dad for a spin on Sunday. He's named it Mick:hilarious: He also said why don't I buy a bloody van and keep Mick for best:hilarious:[/QUOTE]
