New V70 D5 Questions

Post Count = 1 Hi All, I have recently purchased a new V70 D5 SE and am looking forward to delivery in early January (fingers crossed!). In that post purchase haze I forgot to ask the dealer about a few things. They have no bearing on my decision but I wanted to know: 1) I didnt see a Digital Radio option package. Does that mean it comes with a Digitial Radio? 2) Does it come with standard cruise control. I didnt have the budget for the adaptive one but wanted to know if normal cruise control comes as standard. Many thanks if you know the answers. Cant wait as I was really impressed with the car.

Hello and welcome to the forums. Best of luck with your new car when it arrives in January. Hope you find the answer your looking for on the forum.

Thanks for the info. Pick up is sometime in January and Im looking forward to it. The spec pdf was great but the issue has been translating the option packs on the web to the options packs at the dealerships. It gets a little confusing! Opted for leather instead of the Fortuna alloys so fingers crossed I made the right decision. Anybody know a true MPG for the D5 in the real world?

Curious here... why would someone want to buy a brand new V70? I mean think of the value in three years, not to mention the little niggling faults that means various annoying trips to the dealer...

4% is not much off a new v70, non club members could probably haggle with the dealer with this amount.
