Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - S80 V8 Sport, black, 72k miles, FSH, available November

My S80 V8 Sport will be available from late November. I am currently looking for a Land Rover Discovery with which to replace it.

Specification:

Black metallic paintwork with black leather interior.
Heated / cooled leather.
Sunroof.
Dynaudio.
Navigation with latest 2016 maps and system software.
Bluetooth phone connectivity.
Keyless entry / start.
4C adaptive suspension.

Additions over factory specification:

Genuine Volvo face-lift LED rear light clusters.
Genuine Volvo face-lift gloss black 18" wheels.
Genuine Volvo face-lift grille with large Volvo emblem, plus face-lift wide-spaced Volvo lettering on the boot.
Heico stainless exhaust system (~£1500).

I took it for a thorough major service at a highly regarded Volvo specialist two months ago. This included the following additional items:

Flush and replacement of automatic transmission fluid.
New power steering fluid and reservoir / filter.
New brake pads front and rear.

Prior to this, the service history is completely Volvo main dealer (book fully stamped, plus invoices - will add photos of these).

It has also had during my ownership:

Four Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres fitted less than 2000 miles ago.
A new high capacity Bosch battery earlier this year.

It is 1 of 38 V8 Sports currently registered.
Will come with 12 months MOT.
72k miles.
Two keys.

Mechanically excellent. 4C suspension is in excellent order. Gearbox is smooth.

Since I purchased the car in June 2018, the only electrical / mechanical faults have been:

The rear parking sensors don't seem very accurate - sometimes when reversing, they will beep when there is nothing there. Whilst I mention it for completeness, it's sufficiently minor that I haven't investigated further. The front sensors are perfect.
One ABS wheel speed sensor (replaced this month).
An exhaust bracket was replaced to pass the previous MOT.

Price will be £6500. I'm not in any rush to sell it. Miles will rise very slightly - no more than 50 miles a week. It has been my favourite car I've owned and it makes me happy every time I fire it up. I can afford to keep it for a while alongside the Discovery when I get it.
