This 2014 Volvo V60 Polestar Has Lost A Third Of Its Original Value Already

With the new S90 due to spawn a Polestar variant, we're thinking about hot Volvos again. And it turns out depreciation has hit the most recent one pretty hard...

We’ve already seen how a Polestar version of the incoming S90 could look, but what if you fancy some fast Swedish metal with that little blue badge right now? Enter stage left, the V60 Polestar.

It’ll be the last hot Volvo to have more than four cylinders under the bonnet, and is a much sharper thing than you might expect. Its 345bhp turbocharged straight-six makes it decently quick, and it sounds rather lovely, too.

You can still buy them new if you’re will to lay down a cool £49,785, but it seems that these hot wagons depreciate at a particularly shocking rate, so it’s possible to buy one for a hell of a lot less. Case in point? This £33,000, 2014 approved used example. In the 17 months since it was first registered, it’s shed £17,000: over a third of its original value.

Considering it has just over 8000 miles on the clock, that seems like a jolly good deal. On the other hand, if these hot V60s have dropped such a significant amount in just a year and a half, they’ll probably continue to lose value at a particularly terrifying rate.

Upshot? While it’s probably not the best idea to buy one now (and let’s face it, not many of us will have a spare £33,000 stashed down the back of the sofa), once the depreciation on these levels off a bit, they’ll be utter bargains. One to watch out for…

As a V40 owner I saw one the other day in a parking lot and said “one day”. Perhaps that day will come sooner than I thought.

Considering only a limited* amount were produced… Even if the price is “low”, it doesn’t mean there are an abundance of them! Find me one at that price stateside and ill let you drive it :)
