• Any - Car change 3 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  Why and when do you change your car? We can' take up our minds as to wether or not downsize to a new Fiesta or Up from the 2003 Volvo V70. It's running fine with 172k on the clock and not worth much as a trade in I imagine. Keep the Volvo or change to one of Fiesta or Up?
