S80 T6, burgundy with full cream leather interior. 1999 (V), 103K miles, Spares or Repair, £600
The bad bits: suspected turbo seal leak (blows blue smoke from rear when stationery). Aapart from the turbo issue, there are a few scratches, the passenger front central locking solenoid only works occasionally, and the sunroof has stopped working - may be a computer module or the motor - the fuses checked out OK. The paint on the plastic guttering on the roof (for the roof rails) has flaked and needs spraying over again (it was done when we bought it in 2006).
The good bits: everything else works (as far as I know). It is a tiptronic automatic, and the gearbox and engine (apart from turbos) are sound. It has full and working aircon, cruise control, 10 CD autochanger with audio controls on the steering wheel (all working), heated front seats, airbags, electric windows all round. The tyres are good. It is the most comfortable car I have ever had.
The car drives without a problem, apart from not having the performance it should have with fully working twin turbos, and only smokes when stationery, or if driven slowly for too long. I used it up until a couple of weeks ago when I taxed the replacement (need a diesel estate for house build project). I am keeping the Volvo insured for one month.
I am asking for £600 mark, ovno, (excl road tax) as it is. It is MoTd till October, and it has road tax on it but I was planning on taking that off as I think it is valid till March 2011.
I live in south Northamptonshire, near Banbury.
