Hello dear forum community, after a few weeks of research I just try it with my own thread for our upcoming purchase decision. To the background: We are two; at the beginning of 30, so far without a child, live in a smaller city with a lot of land around it and have been the last 10 years without own car. In the first years still with Bahncard, then the last 2 years mostly with car rental we have noticed that simply the spontaneity, just times away In short, we finally want our own car In figures: In recent years, including fuel and train tickets/BC, we have always spent about 2500 € / year on mobility, of which a large part is due to the rental cars. Without having driven a lot of Volvo, we have had the combination of cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, etc. We have always been fascinated and therefore it was quickly clear to us that it must become something in the direction of V70 or XC 70. In the meantime we know concretely that it should probably be a V70 II or V70 III. But now one thing for us is actually not sure yet. We do not know if we want to keep the car permanently. So this is in about such an attempt for 2-3 years, in which we want to determine whether we like it permanently or yet switch to autoless again. (aside from a few other little things about the equipment) therefore, that we could sell the car on the one hand relatively quickly and with the slightest loss of value again, if we actually decide against it. Important core data: Yes, and that was it in principle already. Color, seat covers, other equipment and especially the motorization is still variable and we would (in principle) focus on how well the car can be sold again later on. h e.g. the V70 III with 145hp-sauger, which I find currently in the whole stock exchanges for low money at low KM; they seem to be absolute shopkeepers and seem to me to be somewhat undermotorized anyway. But what motorization is suitable? 2.0T, 2.4T, 2.5T, T5? What fits “to us”, and what is not a shopkeeper, but goes on well again? What extras should we necessarily have in it, because it is worth it in resale? So that we can make an optimal purchase decision tr effen, I am dependent on your help and experience. Look forward to all comments PS: What do you think of this offer for example: – would that be possible for our profile?
