Does anyone have any suggestions for a car for a 19yr old to commute 25 to Sheff for uni? He's lookin at a Volvo but I can't go with him to look at it for a week. I can't convince him to get a Caddy sadly.
 
He should get something fun and impractical while he's young. Alfa Spider or something like that. The Volvo can wait a decade.
 
My youngest, 16, is saving for a car.
Criteria is that it has to fit two sets of golf clubs and two golfers in. He is a keen golfer.
 
I like volvo's ( and saabs) .
Over engineered , solid and comfortable.
Not gonna necessarily be cheap to run/ tax depending on specifics.
He could do worse :thumbsup:

I dunno. My 340 horse T5 is impractical and hilarious fun, and unlike an Alfail it'll actually complete a journey.

Good luck running a Volvo of any kind on a student budget though. If you think T6's drain your bank balance you ain't seen nuthin' yet!
 
Whatever you get, check the cost of insurance, it’ll likely be so expensive for a 19 year old that it will be a major factor in the choice of vehicle.
We're 'helping him' with his insurance but he will be paying the most. The S40 he wants is a reasonable cost, not crazy as such.

not Volvo but I keep an eye on that website with the idea of one day buying a Saab estate/saloon to save having to use the van daily and to make life easier for city / airport parking

they occasionally auction off stock on ebay so there are deals to be had.
