Wanted to share my new dd - 2004 v40 LSE!

Post by gavush »

I work as a tech at a Porsche dealer and was told something was traded in that had my name all over it and boy were they right. I purchased it right away and sold the 06 Mazda 3s I'd been driving for 2yrs. The Mazda was faster / more nimble but I love this wagon. It had 56k on it when I bought it a month or so ago but I've got it up to 58k and change (I drive 70 miles a day)

The car got my attention with its cool headlights, aero kit, and bbs wheels. (Long time vw guy. I always wanted a car with bbs wheels) I had bought it before I knew what it was and connected the dots after looking online to figure out the trim level. I sent pics to a friend that owns an independent Volvo shop in vt where I grew up and wired at in high shook and he'd never seen one. I found out that it was a proper LSE a day or two later. (One of 450 LSE wagons according to the press release I found for 2004?)

I purchased off-black all weather mats for it and had the windows done with 20% ceramic film. I have a tbelt kit on the way... It's been very well taken care of and has maybe two door dings and a hand full of chips on the front. I want to get smoked front side markers for it...

The audio quality of the fm band is pretty muddy (normal?) but CDs sound terrific via what I guess was the premium sound package.

Anyway it's the nicest thing I've ever had to drive and I'm glad to drive it every day, and I thought you might appreciate a nice example.
