Right, I have finally pulled my finger out and purchased a second hand car today. Totally different to any of the options I had originally thought about :lol:

It's a 2003 Volvo S40 1.8i, in the lovely old man gold colour they used to do , 1 owner from new, FSH, 100k miles, brand new MOT, electric windows all round, air con, heated seats, drives very well despite it's age and mileage. Even though it's a saloon, it's got a nice big boot space which will be perfect for a baby buggy (or golf clubs + trolley so I'm told :yikes: ) And all for £1800!

Picking it up next Saturday. Back to the good old days of driving a big car and no more Girl Racer

Good choice I reckon Volvos are safe as houses... had one as a company car for a short while and yes, it was good But GOLD!!! uhm....

Mr GRR's car currently is a Volvo Gisela and that's what persuaded me to go for another one. Nice and sturdy built, not a lot goes wrong with them, and nice and comfortable to drive. I think I will cope with the gold. We used to have a bright yellow Skoda and you don't notice the colour when you're inside the car :lol:

Nice one GRR........ Nice sturdy car, which is perfect for a mums taxi. Although you may have jumped from Girl Racer Red to Gran Racer Red.....(;0)

I have just put up a post about buying a second hand car. How strange!

Well done, I really like the Volvos but you may have to change your name now, unless you get a bad *** body kit and whale tail put on it :lol:

Could be worth it when your cruising around in a bad boy like this!

All the 15 year olds would think you were well cool! :lol:

That body kit is called a baby bump.. :lol:

Bargain Liz, My brother has a C30 R-Design and its awsome, I like it so much that i've decided my next motor will be a volvo R-Design, probably one of the bigger saloons though as apose to the smaller C30.

Like one of these Oli?

I'll be sad to see this one go back to the lease company

Yeah but in the blue! Volvo really have improved the look of their cars over the last 5 or so years
