I’ve finally done it. I’ll be getting my new XC60 in about a week or so.

It’s not the new shape, which is too BIG and expensive, but a pre-registered “old” shape, on a 17 plate. Mega miles on the clock, 10, and that’s actual miles not thousands of miles 

A nicely specced car with a fair few factory options. Yes, it’s fueled by the dreaded black stuff & has 5 cylinders.

Nice, part-x'ing the Mondeo?

Yep. I really like the Mk4 Mondeo, but I’ve had three of them now and fancied a change. Dwindling stocks of the old shape sort of forced my hand really as I actually paid less for it than many year old examples go for. I’d located a cracking ‘67 plater this morning - but rang up to reserve it but someone had just beaten me to it. Still I’ve got an extra cylinder for less money  . I’ve not had a “new” car for quite a while so thought why not. In the not to distant future interest rates will have gone up and all the pre-reg XC60s will have gone.

Lovely comfy vehicles, hope it serves you well! 

And I'm very partial to a Swedish interior

Thanks. It’s got the built in child booster seats in the back - good job we have a couple of suitably sized grandchildren to occupy them.

Great cars I like them, a colleague at work has had a couple no problems at all.

Sounds great, well done.

Last of the reasonable Volvos, the latest range of Chinese funded tat is not nearly as good.

Nope it serves your well

Thanks all. I feel like a small child waiting for xmas  .

I see it as an early retirement present. If I’d waited another year or so then there would be no zero milers left & interest rates can only go up. Even SWMBO agrees with the logic & approves of the child seats.
