Quality .... Are you serious they are balls of ****e, gearbox is made of chocolate because volvo didn't put a radiator on them unlike the xc90. That superb would be a far superior car in every way.

I laughed. Out loud.
Volvo didn't put a rad on the gearbox, as standard. If you were towing boats, animals or whatever, you could get one installed. There was no need for a rad on that box for that car, "unless" you wanted or needed one.

Anyway, off with you and your Skoda Sh1t box with a half a million km on it. By the way, its not just the "iron block" that does the mileage.

I have one in my S60 and they are shíte gearboxes. Sealed for life and you run the huge risk of destroying them if you don't change the oil perfectly.

Simple terms its not a bangernomics car its an expensive 1900 euro, anything goes wrong over the course of ownership its factory parts only, new gearbox 5k, new instrument cluster 3k, the dif is another weak part on them good luck at finding anything in a breakers for them, garden ornaments is what a lot of them end up as, laugh out loud at that.

The trick is to fill it up when the oil is cold.... Unfortunately many garages will want to rush it and with oil expanding with temperature, it will be underfilled.

Newish FWd Toyota use those boxes almost exclusively, without many issues. They are great light, compact and efficient boxes.

I very much have to agree with this and its something that people seem to loose sight of too easily when judging a high mileage car with a "good"/"brilliant"/"renowned" engine.

If the original seats are any way normal looking, I think it would be a good idea to remove the covers and retake the pics of the interior.

I had an S80 with 200k on it. Box was perfect in every way but I had a petrol one so hardly the same box as the diesel 2.4, so, I cannot really comment on that.
I didn’t know they were sh1te.

Well, yes, if your approach to bangernomics is to replace parts with factory parts (yes I understand no scrappie parts available) then you’re out of luck with a 1900 Euro car that goes pop.
Eyes wide open to be fair with all those type of cars that are just in bangernomics territory. I’m looking at you merc e200, Audi A6 and Volvo whatever.
No car worth €2k is worth investing any more than its own value unless you’re fairly confident that thecar will last as long as you want it to and you are happy to keep the car. You can, and people do, find plenty of Volvo cars that are perfect bangernomics cars. I know what car I’d rather have if I had to choose between a superb and an xc 70

The drivers seat has a small tear so unfortunately a bit necessary

Well the ill informed might agree, but from a sound banger you could do a lot worse than a skoda. Yes I did pick one up for 750 12 months ago and yes it's been a great buy costing me nothing other than the tax and test and the consumables.

They are grand if all you want is basic reliable transport that feels like it was designed in the 1990s.

For what it's worth they haven't changed much in 11 years since then either:

It's hard to tell because the paint is so **** on them but they look like Enkei Racing-S wheels, probably worth more than the car if so.
