100% Genuine, the guy wanted it to go to a good home rather than it being scrapped. It could have turned out a very expensive repair bill for me (that was the gamble). The chap who sold it to be is local and knows I have owned a V70 T5 (p80) for over 13 years and I'm an enthusiast.
Some people like myself just hate seeing cars scrapped and would give them away to the right person. In the past I've given a perfect SAAB 900 away for free, and next week my Mercedes clk 230k 2004 with mot is going to a guy for £50, because he wants to and will spend time and money on her.
