It was an absolute steal in all honesty, especially compared to similar German luxobarges on sale from the same era.
Quite rare to see one with paint not flaking off the front 'parking' bumpers.😅

Well, well, well
Yes, that is my old S90 now on Ebay. And I can confirm that the current vendor has owned the car since 10.03am on Saturday, May 27th 2023.
So the claim and implication that the seller has changed the oil himself each year is a lie, also that the car has been "cherished" by Volvo Owners club "enthusiasts". By an enthusiast, singular, yes, enthusiasts plural no. I'm a bit surprised - he seemed a decent sort. Maybe he's been hit by buyer's remorse and decided that old Volvo ownership isn't for him after all. It'll be interesting to see if the car sells for more than he paid me for it. Jack |

Sad, but once the title has passed to the new owner it is theirs to do with as they please. I appreciate your sentiment and am sure karma will find a way - it usually does! Regards, John.

I tend to agree with your conclusion that the buyer was probably genuine but has decided that fairly old Volvo ownership isn't for him and is trying to sell it on without too much loss. I say that because although your motor car looks very nice to us Volvo blokes, they don't seem to sell well so the seller isn't likely to make much (if anything). I can see there is a similar motor car (Volvo S90 2.9 Automatic Luxury Edition Only 86,000 Miles!!) for sale (by a dealer, but taken as a PX with no warranty) on eBay at £1,990, so I doubt that there is any profit in flipping large and thirsty 25 year old Volvo motor cars. It is a bit wrong for the seller to imply he has owned your old motor car for a long time, but he doesn't appear to have told any untruths, although he may have implied some. If he has just decided a 25 year old Volvo isn't for him and is trying to recoup what he can then one can't blame the chap for trying to make the situation sound positive. Alan Addendum: I was intrigued by this so I asked the seller how long he had owned the Volvo, he replied a week and later added: ... my wife and I buy and sell (privately) you can see our previous sales, we also have an MX5 for sale. The advert is verbatim of the handover received from the last owner...... so, I was wrong: the chap is just flipping the motor car quickly for a profit. Does that make the couple a motor trader? I don't know. I suppose a downside is the Volvo now has had 3 previous owners on the log book and not two.
