    I used to work for a Volvo main dealer a few years ago. I know nothing about cars from a technical point of view but I say the fact it's a manual might have an impact. People looking for big, diesel saloons tend to do high mileage and want an automatic. Odd spec = cheaper price

    Big volvo saloons are not very popular, people seem to prefer hatchbacks/estates so big saloons can be a bargain. Looks a good spec with leather & auto. Also has built in sat-nav, you can see the top of the screen above the steering wheel, it rises out the dash

    Several listed for similar money so not unusually cheap.

    Poor description though. Cloth/Leather? Manual/Auto?

    Photo of the wrong car or wrong description?

    The diesel autos are very very greedy on short town runs, 20-24 mpg is average and 25-30 for manuals.
    Be happy...;)

    Either the description is wrong or the photo's are wrong, as already mentioned, manual, cloth, solid paint.....when the actual photo show auto, leather and metallic paint? Not a very professional advert :(

    Or they've ripped off a genuine ad with random pics and it is a scam....
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Do you actually NEED diesel?

    for HALF that price you could get the S80 4.4 V8 4X4...
