Bought my first V70 T5 manual in Scotland in 1999. One year old, 10k miles on it and only paid 15000 pounds for it which was almost half price at the dealer. 2 years later came to Canada and was offered a similar red V70 GLT in red with a score on one side at the dealer for more than I sold the T5 for in Scotland! UK prices are generally more realistic than here where owners are asking $6-8k CDN for junk P80. One came up for $2k and it has a blown head gasket??? That is a junk car.
