Time to yield a sigh
 
18 Attachment(s)
Yes, having served me faithfully for 5 years the old girl has to go as knee problems now demand an automatic.

So, if anyone is interested before I resort to Autotrader....

March 2005
MOT'd to March 2019
D5 Euro111 163bhp (so no dpf)
5 speed manual
Nearly 119k miles
Ash Gold Pearl code 446

Full service history, although not Volvo, apart from first 40k
One previous owner (85 year old Scot). I've had it since 39k miles

Overall good condition apart from one unfortunate incident involving a wall :shocked:(see photo) and a small patch of bubbling paint at front bottom corner of r/o/s window that has not changed in condition since I bought it (see photo)

The wall incident also seems to have knocked out the PDC but......I have a secondhand rear bumper complete with parking sensors and a pair of unmarked chrome corner pieces (hens teeth) ......and a complete PDC kit as well from sensors to dashboard switch just in case. Another but coming here...... the bumper is blue so will need a respray.

It has had Volvo rubber floor mats since new and I have has a boot protector my entire ownership so the carpets are good.

Since Jan 2017 it has had an alternator; handbrake rebuilt (haven't they all); one coil spring; one brake pressure sensor; reluctor rings; offside and nearside front calipers front calipers.

The tyres have approx 5mm all round. The spare is a space saver.

The wheels were powdercoated a bout 3 years ago and are in good condition with no kerbing.....except for the f/n/s which,annoyingly, has suffered a bit but is not too badly damaged (see photo)

Radio/cd works; aircon is cold; seats are not torn or worn excessively.
But it is beige so the grandchildren tell me.....

Drive it away for £1500.

PM if you want to know more (although there is little else to tell). I will be away in Devon (in the new to me V70) from Monday for about two weeks or so.

Looks a bloody good buy for somebody.

I've literally just bought (yesterday) an 05 EU3 geartronic otherwise I'd have been coming to see you.

Did this sell in the end? I am shortly due a pay out on my V70 after 9 months of the insurance bastards being difficult.

Mine was a d5 se, is this the same sort of spec?

Thanks

Tim
