if you want it to last the distance at that age youre going to want an XUD.
A Xantia?
The Volvos of the early 90s had renault engines in them
the Pug 1.9D. Fantastic engine, if its looked after itll do a million miles no problems.
But itd be the rest of the Pug Id be worried about.
The Volvo is alround a mighty automobile, its all solidly built not just the engines and there are Volvos that have done over a million miles.
Compare the number of XUD diesel carrying cars about still about compared to volvo 240s - can anyone spell GALVANISED ??
I dont think thats a fair comparison.
the XUD engine, if Im right was used by 2 manufacturers while the renault engines in the Volvos were only used in Volvos as far as Im aware.
Its also a space issue, Volvos, Id imagine have more. and engine size
But Id appreciate a list of cars you think we should look out for, which car would you buy.
Ill be saving up and I think at the end of Jan going to a local Auction or 2 to find one
