Hi everyone! sorry i am ashamed to say i havent posted for about 2 years shame on me, been a busy few years though, finished my masters course in chemistry finally and moved to Bristol to start a PhD in advanced carbon fibre composites for aerospace engineering, can't stop being a student it seems no matter how hard i try:blink:
anyway, some much needed advice; i'm still driving the focus but its took a hammering and in the last year alone the mileage has went from 78000 to 117000,
started thinking of what to replace the old girl with and for the last few weeks i've had my heart set on the new fiesta zetec s which has fantastic levels of kit and i've only heard good things about how it is to drive and heard no horror stories yet. Was looking at one next year for around the £9-10,000 mark.
HOWEVER, was on autotrader and the Ford dealer just up the road from me has this advertised:
ha! what do you know, went to get the link from autotrader and it had gone! aw well, makes the decision easier!
Basically, they had a volvo S40 2008, 1.8 litre, 17000 miles for less than £7000. Just thought that either this is a very good car for not a lot of money or that it was TOO good. Has anyone ever owned or knows someone with the same model? know of any recurring problems or expensive repairs?
Found one that is pretty similar to see what you guys think
