Very reluctant sale, may decide to keep it if i dont get the money i ask.
I have alwys fell back on this car when my daily runabout has broken down on me. As i have kept it in tip top mechanical condition for reliability.

1997 p reg volvo s70 t5 se saloon manual. 240 bhp

back seats ripped out by my german sheperd dog so fitted a dog cage/box where rear seats where.

Inside smells of dogs and i havent had time to hoover and clean it out inside. But no time or money has been spared on mechanical matters.

I have owned the car since 2007, previous owned by an old gentleman who had to give up driving and go into an old folks home. It was his pride and joy before it become my pride and joy.

For the last 3 years i have only used it in the summer months, parked in a garage during winter times.

I am very reluctant to sell, but i now have two dogs and it wont get used much. I had intended keeping it for years to come and show it when it becomes a classic, but im also hard up for cash so i am considering changing my long term plans.

I am asking £1950 ovno. Or a swap for a volvo v70 xc cross country with lpg fitted. Similar condition.

I am still undecided if i want to sell my s70 t5, but if the price is near to what im asking then i will be tempted.

I know what has been done, oil changes every 6k miles, using castrol, and genuine oil filters. No short cuts or second hand part fitted.

Have a folder full of receipts, a combination of full service history when the old guy had it upto 2007, and parts receipts from the time ive had it. Timing belt was changes in 2008, i think at around 120k miles, for piece of mind. Have receipt of this from garage costing £300, geniune volvo belt and pulleys, fitted at a local vauxhall dealers.

Steering rack replaced with remanufactured one cos it was slightly leaking. Again, everything is perfect and working, including the usual headlight motors which go, receipt for new one in folder.

Pipes, pvc breather pipes, turbo pipes all replaced.

Totally standard, and because it been kept in shape, it still goes like stink as if it had just come out of the factory.

Slight white smoke when cold cos it stand for 6 months through the winter, mot pass no problem, garage said it needs a good run to clear it up, as it usually just has short journeys.

Need new tyres all round very soon, may at next mot in may 2012
taxed till end of september.

If anyone interested in buying, or swaping for a v70 xc cross country on lpg (must have lpg system fitted and working) then please email or phone/ text.

£1950 ovno

please note no test drives, but you can be passenger with me driving, this is because i may keep it yet and i dont want it wrecked.

Forgot to mention, clutch makes a slight noise when letting clutch out pulling away, but it has done this since i got it in 2007 and i have done 40k miles with it without any problems.
