Any experience of Volvo V70 2.4 - Final update

The missus paid cash for it

I love it how you slip little snippets in like this like it's the most normal thing in the world.

Not slipped in, not intentionally anyway, and i wasn;t aware I did it regularly.

It's simple, she was asked to take on a role in her company after they were bought out and she didn't like the new owners, and was pregnant and planning to have 2 kids in 3 years so convinced them it wasn't in their best interests to keep her. They didn't need to know she didn't want to stay anyway.

She got paid off and walked away with 2 years salary, so the only difference between us and anyone else is that the cash lump is there in the bank. That 2 years cash still has to last 3 years as she's not planning to go back to work for at least another 2 years, so it really isn't any different to anybody else who gets a severance package, and I know a few people in the same boat...

Hey Mark,

You've told me the story yourself - I was only trying to have a bit of fun with you!

It's obvously a bit of a raw nerve though, which I shall avoid in future. I imagine you get sick of people thinking 'It's alright for the Trims - they're bloody loaded!'









Can you lend me a tenner?


:lol:

course on the other hand if he's lending money at 108000%apr its not suprising he can pay cash for a new motor

It's a bit late now, but if you're purchasing a diesel then avoid one with a dual mass flywheel like the plague. They tend to come apart from about 30K onwards and the manufacturers aren't interested in claims, even though it's a common fault and they're all now abandoning DMFs and are trying to cure the vibration problems via fancy electronics that limit torque in the first 2 gears
