Great idea to start the running report on the new Volvo. Thought I'd give a try at one on my older car which I bought three years ago at 94k and registered in 2000 .I've got to 130k now and apart from normal servicing I had one large bill for a pse pump of £600 and was quoted £600 to fix the convertible roof at the main dealers. I got it done at an indie for £100. I reckon I'm getting around 27/29 a gallon driving light footed but this drops if I have a day of enthusiastic right foot. The bodywork is showing no signs of rust but the windscreen is pitted from stones etc and will need replacing in the near future. I had a rough running problem but this was some electric thing which was quick and cheap to fix. i needed discs all round and a door mirror glass but this was soon after I bought it from an excellent indies who bore most of the cost. The car was £10,000 to buy but I got a decent px on my old C class diesel and parted with about £7,500. I can cruise all day at legal limits with the engine barely ticking over but being rear wheel drive in the snow its not very practical.The interior is wearing wel too. I reckon its worth something like £4,500 to £5,000 privately so three years has cost me about £5,000 capital. Insurance is £280 and tax just under £200. Mot soon so fingers crossed.
