Default 1998 V40 T4 for sale or part ex £450

With much regret I have made the decision to sell my V40 T4.
It's not all bad news though as I intend to put the money towards an S40 T4.

i'm looking for £450 for this or at least part ex it for an S40 T4.

I use this for my work as a security dog handler and in the short use the previous owner had of it, it was also used for the same thing.

The car has recently been fully serviced and had a new air filter fitted a few weeks ago.
I also have some new genuine Volvo spark plugs due to arrive in the next couple of days and they will be fitted as soon as they arrive, time and weather permitting.
Other details on this service is explained below.

The Mileage is currently at 179,100 miles but it will continue to climb as it is used daily.
Most of these miles added by myself or my wife are motorway miles as my other half is originally from north Wales and visits her family fairly regularly and I travel about 70 miles on the motorway per week.

It was an unloved car and since owning it I have either had work done to it at the local garage or I have done work myself.
This includes,

Replacement turbo (July/August)
New cam belt and tensioner (@173,000)
Replacement coil packs
Replacement Lambda sensors August & October)
Replacement sender unit (Mid March)
New temperature sender (February)
New Map sensor (October)
New anti roll linkages (February)
New track rod ends (August)
New near side lower ball joint (February)
New rear brake lines (need to be fitted)
New HID kit (January)
3 fairly new tyres with an excellent spare (December)
Repaired drivers seat bolster (January)

It also has a full service history which has stamps from Volvo or a Volvo specialist.
I can't remember the exact mileage figure (not got the manual in front of me) but it was almost due when I bought the car.
Since then it has been done 3 times.

The first service was to get rid of the old oil in the engine.
I replaced this with a fairly cheap oil and an additive to help clean it internally.
I ran it around for about 100 miles and then used an engine flush which was run for a further 10 miles and then it was replaced with Castrol Magnatec and a new oil filter was fitted at the same time.
Since then I serviced it recently ready for the spring and it has had it's fluids replaced again.

It will have 6 months tax which is to be purchased this morning and it will have just under 11 months MOT.

Bad things on the car.
It needs a new roof lining (the area around the boot is ripped and scarred from where the dog cage has been)
It needs a new back box (it is blowing due to a rust hole on the seam but the join for the middle section has a lot of rust so will need to replace that too)
Manifold has a crack in it and one of the stud bolts fixing it to the CAT has snapped.
Possibly could do with the clutch being replaced.
One of the spot light wires needs soldering but I don't know where it has come off.
Engine mount (bottom front) needs to replaced

There are a few more things but considering this late hour, the tiredness is setting in and I'm struggling to remember.
I also need to add some pictures and I will do that sometime tomorrow.
