V70 for sale, 2007 ph2 facelift
 
3 Attachment(s)
After just over 4 years of ownership, I’ve decided to sell my trusty and well-pampered Volvo V70 2.4D Sport. 6 speed M66 manual gearbox.
I bought it from a decent chap in Fareham; he’d had the car new as his company car, then bought it from his company in 2010 when he retired.
I bought it from him at about 133,000 miles, it now has nearly 182,000 miles on the clock.
5 cylinder diesel, originally 163bhp, I had it remapped by Volvo specialist Shemtek for extra torque. This gives good overtaking performance, should you need it.
During my ownership, I’ve maintained (some might say over-maintained) the car myself. There is a stamped service book up to the point of my purchase.
I’ve got a fully record with receipts of all the work I’ve done on it.
Most recently, it has had 4 new Fulda tyres, 4 new Bilstein B4 shocks, new front lower arm bushes. It is fitted with a full set of Eibach springs, these are, from memory, 30mm lower than standard, although the standard springs are quite high, so the car does not really look lowered compared with many out there.
I've got a lot more info but the forum won't let me post more - will try later. Looking for £1500.00

I changed the cambelt and aux belt with genuine Volvo parts, including all rollers /tensioners as per the fully Volvo kit, at approx. 135,000 miles. These are still well inside their normal working life.
In my ownership, it’s had oil & filter changes at approx. every 6000 miles.
Most 12 year old cars are sold with “age related marks” on the bodywork – this car is virtually free of any marks. The rear bumper was repainted earlier this year due to lacquer-peel. There are a few small stone chips on the bonnet, that’s about it. The bodywork is in exceptional condition. Currently fitted with a custom grille, original grille included.
There is no curbing on the 17 inch alloys. I had them refurbished, they were originally diamond-cut but now they are all-silver. Includes one spare alloy wheel, no tyre.
The leather interior is in very good order, including the driver’s seat. No smoking or any other smells.
From new, the car had an audio upgrade, it’s got loads of speakers all over the car. It is fitted with a GROM Bluetooth kit, which uses the CD-changer port on the original head unit; the head-unit has an internal 6 CD changer.
2 working keys. MOT until June 2020. I’m not selling the car with any guarantees, but everything is in working order.
I’ve doubtless forgotten a few things, so feel free to ask. I’d like the car to sell to someone who will continue to look after it properly.
Price: £1,500

That looks great value John. How's the clutch/ DMF feel?

Before I bought the V70, the previous owner had the clutch changed due to a leaking slave cylinder, I think I've got a receipt for it. I don't think the DMF was changed so it's on the original but there are no noises or vibrations from it, that I can see.

Messaged you, John.

What is that grille?

john493 Nov 18th, 2019 17:04

Bought the grille used from a guy on here. Not sure where it originated.

A deposit has been taken on the car now.
