Yes, it has been thoroughly considered on the site. I’ve not come across the term ‘Barry wagon’ before...... The Gul estate appears to have gone, someone must have made an offer that couldn’t be refused.

A clean, sorted, rust free and mechanically sorted manual 850 T5 will not be found for £2k. Even the less desirable V70s are creeping past that point. I'd be budgeting closer to £3.5k in the current market, if not more.

If you don't mind one that needs work then your budget is fine, but it seems like that isn't what you're looking for.

I agree entirely, a clean, sorted, rust free and mechanically sorted manual 850 T5 will not be found for £2k. But fortunately he's not looking for a T5, any petrol engine car is considered.

Fair enough, I saw 2.3L listed as a requirement and assumed T5 was the goal.

Offftt that would have been ideal Mr Griston. But I'm afraid you're two days too late. I found him a clean ph1 V70 on Thursday which he collected this morning. Sounded very chuffed with it when I called him earlier. 2.5 SE 10V, 2 owners from new (husband then wife), 83k miles, manual box, 12 months MOT, a very clean car inside and out. Bit jealous to be honest
