3 month mechanical warranty
6 months tax going on it to

don't get it till wed/thursday
took it for a test drive and it's nice and smooth, comfy as anything inside..
and a nice feeling when the turbo kicks in, it doesn't hang about....

my dad had the V40 and it was a quality car. It never missed a beat from new to 90,000 miles and was still going strong when we sold it.

they're great car's had a shot of one b4, i used to have a 440 glt 2.0 and it was good aswell, they'll do massive milleages, and the leather seats are comfy 
lowered, 18's and an exhaust and you'll be pretty much sorted

cheers guys...it's nice like and safe and fast :::
check the stats
Engine Size: 1855 cc
Cylinders: 4
0-60 mph: 7.1 s
Power Output: 200 bhp
Valves: 16
Torque: 300 Nm
Top Speed: 146 mph
not too shabby, felt good on the road and fully loaded..
tweek suspension a bit, set of 18's and exhaust maybe.. but got a 6x4 on there already, or maybe 5x3
never realised it was that fast though until seen the stats....gave it a wee bit stick on test drive but not too much..
