A friend of mine bought an i30 during the scrappage scheme, among other reasons cause TG magazine liked it and is quite happy with it.
EDIT: Where is your new job (congrat on it!), by the way?
Funnily the i30 link points me to the exact dealer where I saw the Octavia
If everything works out then I'll be in northeast NRW during the winter break, ie February to mid-April. About 375km from home :?
Nothing signed yet so nothing to congratulate on, going there on Wednesday
I'll let the world know in the achievement thread when/if things finalize
The Fox needs replacing some time this year anyway, so this is a good opportunity.
I did find other Volvos, mostly V50s if they are of any interest.
'08 V50
I really do like the V Volvos, had a V70 during a short trip to Sweden in the summer. Lovely car. Sadly quite expensive
not only to buy, but to run. Volvo mechanics are quite greedy.
Having a flexifuel (as in E85 ethanol) has little benefit in Germany. For example you can enter Stockholm without the local congestion charges, for that it makes perfect sense. There's no such thing over here though. E85 stations are rather scarce as well, so I'd probably run a lot on regular petrol. No point in paying for the flexifuel then.
Teeheehee. Try again in maybe four years :lol:
'06 Accord 2,0 Auto- this one seems promising, one owner, no accidents, non-smoker
I'm too young to go down automatic hell... compared to the V50 the Volvo wins. Same price, 1.5 years younger, 10kkm more, less thirsty. Its 125hp is more than enough
Mazda3 already made the short list a few posts back
