Can you give us an idea on the tax band for this?

 

In the words of the wife, she likes it but the tax will “rape her face”

Think they are £315 to tax.

If I had any actual money I think I'd have this rather than wrestle with my v70 any further.

 

I have had total mojo loss with everything now.

Surprised no interior shots have been posted up

To tell the truth, the weather has been pretty crappy, its dark by about 3.30pm and I am working a lot AND my wife and I had a row about this car the other day as she is asking why I’d want to sell it as it suits us perfectly....

 

Reason I want to sell it is I want something newer plus I have an impending purchase which requires significant deposit coming up soon. Once thats all done I may well and very likely buy another as these are awesome cars

Out of interest is this 5 or 7 seat?

 

Lovely looking cars.

They are all seven seaters. Decent sized seats at that and still have a bit of luggage room with them up.

These are lovely cars, to put the price into perspective I have just spent more than its purchase price on repairs to the Land Rover and C15 and I know that I'll have to throw even more at the Land Rover in the new year. I need to start being sensible.

Don't suppose you'd want a cruddy freelander as a p/ex?

Might be a daft question but is this still available?

It was certainly as of last week.

Great price for a Manuel version.

This is a serious bit of kit for the 3 pedal lovers. I'd be on this like a tramp on chips if I could. 4 UK cars to pick up and a missing passport stymies my stupidity for the moment!

Happy Birthday to this Volvo! 

 

Dare I ask if this is still for sale? I'm missing a big car!

Did this sell in the end?

Calling Wingz!!

 

I've pm'd you and others have asked the question....is this still available? :-D

 

I'm seriously interested even if it does mean a flight down sarf and a long trudge back up to the frozen North!

 

Could we have a 'yay' or 'nay' please?

Nobody's suggesting that a Peugeot 205 is a good vehicle to crash. But I am saying that it's a vehicle which encourages you to drive carefully.

When I was 21, I had a 1.6 GTi.

 

Your statement is incorrect. At least in my case.

That vehicle encouraged me to drive like a twat.

 

Fast forward 25 years and I'm taking interest in diesel Volvos.

What happened?

What happened is you became the man you'd have despised by back then.

 

I suggest you take a good look at yourself and sigh.

I am genuinely interested in a proper case being put forward; illustrating how a Peugeot 205... in the round... is a safer car than a Volvo XC90. And, for absolute clarity, I want you to win. I am no Volvo apologiser or proponent of ‘modernz’ - but if you can show me, quite simply, how in an accident (in the purest sense of the phrase) I’m safer in one - I will buy one.

Meantime, in the real world...

No offence man.

Longtime post revival, but I read in several articles in the 90s that stated the car you were most likely to be killed in in an accident was the 2cv, BUT the death rates per car were lowest for the........ 2cv. The arguments as to why were split between its slow so unlikely to go fast enough to have an accident and its known to not crash well so people are more careful when driving them. No idea which is the case but possibly a combination of the two.

Way ahead of you there.
