Glasses Guide anyone?

Post by Dark » Sun Feb 07, 2016 8:42 pm

Tempted by a Volvo V60 Polestar to replace the Legacy.
Early 14 plate cars with 8-10k miles are being advertised for £33-34k which seems steep when there are 65 plate cars with <1k miles for £36-37k.
I don't do huge miles so the petrol consumption & road fund license are just about bearable but depreciation over the next 3 years is a bit unknown.
The Volvo PCP calculator suggests a value of £15k so I think the possibility of £5k/year depreciation might kill the idea.
Any thoughts from those with links to the trade?

Cheers, Mark

PS: Any suggestions for alternatives that blend performance & practicality and aren't an Audi, BMW or Merc???
