Default 2001 X Reg S80 Diesel FOR SALE ..READ ON >>>>>>>

Today I had to go to Blackpool vic (hospital) for treatment on my "Busted Disc"

i go thru all the treatment sit ups/touch yer toes/ lean left/lean right sit straight ect ect ect ... then I'm asked some questions The most "Interesting" being ....................... DO I DRIVE??? .. Of course I bloody do!!! .. What do I drive ...... Well take yer pick Volvo C70/Volvo S80/Volvo 960 ... "you Like volvo then" .. I'm asked

Are they automatic ??? Yes the C70 is & so is the 960 .. the S80 is Manual ... & what do drive the most ..............Eeeeerrrrr The S80 !!..BAD MOVE!!!

The upshot of all this is .....................I CANNOT DRIVE A MANUAL CAR ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The S80 Has got to go.......











Now then its an S80 X Reg 2001 with an MOT until Feb 21st 2013, its a diesel with the VAG D5252T engine pulls like a train on Steriods & averages around Town an AMAZIN 45+ MPG (I can show you my "Fuelly Website" Figures from when I bought it right up to the last fuel up yesterday...

it has a Tow bar fitted (For my Trailer) & has cloth interior (with a small "Burn" in the drivers seat) ..NOT ME it was there when I GOT IT!!! .. as it over 10 years old you can (like Me) ins as "Classic/Collectable" for around £128 per year (That what it costs me!!) it is Taxed until July 31st & is currently on Disabled tax ... as its only just over 5 weeks to run I will leave the tax disc in it but you will have to change it back to PLG at the end of July (can be done at the Post Office)..Mileage is EXACTLY 185K ..... Service History is "Fragmented" but I assure ANYBODY that Bri @ Jumpleads has serviced it for at least the last 10 Years & ANYTHING that its had done in the last 12 months can be tracked via my Posts on here

What Do I want for it ?????????????????????????..................Well they "appear" to fetching just over the 1200 mark .....

PLEASE NOTE I REALLY REALLY DO NOT want to sell this car but am FORCED TO (If I want to "Keep walking" according to the Doc) NOW I NEED an Automatic BIG Volvo .. don't care if its Petrol or Diesel if you have one & would rather drive a Diesel @45+MPG then PM me & we'll talk turkey

HONESTLY guys I could get in this car & Drive ANYWHERE in the Country & NOT THINK TWICE ABOUT IT.. It REALLY IS that Reliable!!!...

Swops/Part Ex's... I AM OK WITH .. I JUST GOTTA GET A BIG AUTO for "Personal" reasons ...

TALK TO ME GUYS


Keith

Hey could swap your Volvo for my Volvo truck, FH16 750bhp on 2011. Full Auto Ishift. Comfort pack, microwave, coffee machine.

Downsides only does 55mph, 6mpg, struggles with multi story carparks.

Let me know

You could fit a Hi-Abb to the truck, it might work.......
