Just bought the Xf a BIG brother... couldn't be happier!
 

Well on Thursday I finally did the deed and bought a fantastic 04 Bee. Chap I bought it from was complaining that the weather prevented him from cleaning it as well as he'd have wanted - the truck was spotless, although after the drive from the wilds of Scotland to Essex (via the Yorkshire Dales and Staffs) it was somewhat less than pristine http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/images/smilies/frown.gif

So on to the details - 04 truck with a # of 0564, with 26,500 kilometers on the odo (roughly 15,500 miles). Comes as a 4x4 with electric 2/4 wheel drive switch as well as electrically moveable pedals, nearly new tyres. The a/c and heating are great and the interior is virtually as new.

The only down-side for me is there is no tonneau cover but in the short term I can live with that...

Nice, it always rains in Scotland, every day so he should have known. I come from England and it rains there most days. Get the cover. LOL
Seriously though, where is that picture taken, it's been raining - again.
