Value
70K miles FVSH, £4K and looking like a 3 year old vehicle, great value
Costs
Av.28mpg, 2.5 auto on par with similar quality cars. Ins Grp 13 low. Volvo dealers the best, friendly & do not over work the cars. Much cheaper than BMW and Audi equivalents. 4 example 80K (BIG) service & cambelt change a low £330 (£6 pw.) not £5/700+
