james.wilson Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have a new guy who will (if it goes as expected) be my sales director. I need to get him a car. He wants a volvo s or v60. Anyone have any thoughts on these. We will be buying it outright so it wont be leased etc. Also id never buy a brand new car so it will be an ex demo etc. Needs to be comfortable and these as a bonus seem cheaper than an audi or a merc. But ive never even driven a volvo before. I quite like the look of the DRIVe versions. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

norman Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I thought like Saab (pre GM) they were good back in the day when they did not share the platform/powertrain with others. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I thought like Saab (pre GM) they were good back in the day when they did not share the platform/powertrain with others. I think 20yrs or so they almost merged with Renault ? In theory the platform / powertrain is pretty unimportant as its perceived quality & badge kudos which sells 'em Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb-eye Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 My wife owned V70. a car which was totaly out of character for her. it turned out to be possibly one of the best cars she owned and she has had a few cars. Currently she drives a Range Rover Evoque and a Mercedes SLK (for summer obviously) Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
