hmm volvo just caught my attention there! not too bad looking. sadly my mobile browser is crap. what was the price?

tossy · 08-10-2009 1:58am

a 4.4 lt V8 with only 310bhp that takes 7 secs to get to 60,nice car and great sound,but not exactly the stuff of sleepers.

Trying to get a loan of that car to demo to the boss of one of our customers

If it had tax it would have been here by now. If we can overcome that might have it up next week - I've called delivery rights :cool:

Isn't there a 1.6d one of those coming out soon? A little badge swapping would scare the hell out of a few boy racers:D

2010 pricing
S80 1.6DRIVe S - €38,100
S80 1.6DRIVe SE - €41,830
S80 1.6DRIVe SE LUX- €44,930

109bhp with 129g/km of CO2.

I can't imagine how bad it is to drive though. I drove a V70 2.0i FF last year and that was similar to a V50 with the 1.8i engine performance wise.

Can imagine that being a proper put you to sleeper

Never knew you were into those new Ford based yokes, Volvoboy?:pac:

Seriously though, if I had 40k to spend on a car I would give that serious consideration. I may not ever be able to sell it when the time comes, but I buy cars for myself, not the next owner.

From what I remember, those S80 V8's cost around 80k when they were on sale here, so that's serious value for money for what is still a relatively new car.

It's a sleeper alright, even my slow cars are faster than that!!:pac:

unkel · 08-10-2009 10:02pm

40 grand :eek:

That's not a sleeper, it's a nightmare

Give it another five years and you'll be lucky to sell it for 4k

I'd still have had five years of comfortable motoring with a Yamaha V8 engine though.

While losing 90% of your hard earned €40k? I agree with peasant, the person who will buy this car for a few grand is the winner here. The engine will be just as good a few years down the line. Lazy V8s just don't die
