Hi, Bought my first Volvo last year just after the first lockdown unseen from a dealer on the Internet. It's a V70 D5 manual. One owner, FSH, recent clutch, 4 new discs, new tires and a new engine fitted by Volvo about 50,000 miles ago. I really wanted the twin turbo manual with as few gadgets as possible. Electric windows, electric mirrors, central locking, cruise control and alarm that's about it. No parking sensors, cameras, electric seats, electric tailgate or anything else. Didn't even come with a sound system. I had the later fitted by a local audio system specialist. In a former life it was a Northamptonshire Police car. I'm really happy with it so car. Its fast, a lot faster than most people think. Very versatile. I got the tracking checked, bought a cover for the boot and gave one of the wheels refurbished since it was slightly rusty. Hope to keep for a long time.

Welcome to the forum! I am also new to the D5 world as I've just bought an S60 D5 and you're right, they are great.
