R32Ash Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Have you tried just sitting him down and talking to him AS ? Sometimes in cases like this family and friends offering good advice could avert disaster. Failing that you could have a word with his GP? It's a known fact of mental illness that it's those closest to the sufferer who notice the symptoms first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulkbear Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 For £14,995 he could buy a last of the line old shape Passat Estate Highline TDI 130Bhp just tell him to think 1 series = Poo car and basic for that money + Crap 2nd hand price Passat = Big Car, Top of the line, The dealer will bend over backwards to sell you one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorburn Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 http://www.volvocars.co.uk/Showroom/S60/ Are you sure? Cheapest diesel on the price list is £22,043 on the road. Cheapest petrol is £19,995 £5000 discount on a petrol seems quite a lot, £7000 on a diesel is a huge amount.... And thats before any negotiation too if its the sticker price....

ian_m Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 its ok, I edited my post yeah an S60 would be out of the price range he wants to pay! the 15k mark is the most he wants to give! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
