[Jimbo-Clio]

Im guna say yes do it.. but then again i would have given the same response if the thread title was "Should i sell my clio...for reliant robin" as ive just had sex and am in an agreeable mood T5 will be a beast my dad had one as his work car for a while back in the day.

Hell yeah!

although this one's had some sort of suspension voodoo applied that tries to stop it doing what a Viggen should.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

Look at the price 10 years old 70k+ and over 4k

 

[Craigus]

It shows how good they are.

It's no French hatchback.

 

[Goodj]

Craigus knows the score.

Remember, these sold for, what, £30k ish new, not £15k before discounts.

Also, they're built to take 100k+ mileage, it may be a cavalier GSI underneath it, but it was put together by blonde Swedish p**n stars using tools from Ikea, in factories built entirely of ice

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

yeah i respect there build quality but i think there priced on badge value aswell as car value

 

[Craigus]

Mine was £29,000 new. It's a lot of car. The guy I bought it from owns a viggen that has done a touch under 200,000, same engine, box and clutch.

 

[Goodj]

Badge value? Naaaah, not really.
They've tried to be "premium" for years, but are just old Vauxhall tech with nicer interiors and bodyshells.

Mind, with the viggen, it was a special edition, see how a racing Puma is worth several times more than a 'regular' puma. Same difference, one is standard-issue, another is quite special.

Anyway, shut up Goodj, he's not gonna buy it!

 

[Craigus]

When are you getting your Saab then? I could do with some backup on here, lol.

 

[Goodj]

As soon as the other half realises that they're not 'ugly'

Although I may have to plump for a mere Aero convertible, depending on Viggen availability

 

[Craigus]

My wife had that problem, I told her to STFU and got one anyway . . . you'll learn.

 

[Goodj]

you're tactic definately needs looking into.

Maybe one day she'll just wake up to find her key looks different

 

[Craigus]

If she is anyhting like mine, she won't even notice, "Has the car gotten bigger or is it just me" "It's just you, Love"

 

[Cookson]

Now THIS, is full of win

haha yeah might even be known around cumbria as being a fed wagon!

 

[Demic]

I used to have a 850R. I was a brillant car, the handling wasn't too good but it was bad in a grin worthy fun kind of way >The 5cyl warble has got to be one of the best engine sounds ever, there isn't a point in the rev range when it doesn't sound anything other than utterly fantastic.

Running cost are very high though, I never got better than low 20's mpg. Parts are expensive and even independants are quite dear.

 

[Munson]

Volvos are very good cars. LOL at the perception of Swedish quality though. They are mostly retards.

 

[jimbo666]

I love mine. Given its a D5. 150k but still feels solid enough.

 

[NEclio 172ph2]

love the way this thread has evolved into a saab convention lol got my eyes on a lovely low miler T5 just need 2 sell the lil clio now! Hope it sells before the volvo does tho!
