Spotted this on ebay:

Thought the colour looks lovely, never seen one in that bluey turqoise before! Seen that colour on a 960 though

That's the first blue one I've seen.

On the close up photos it looks like it might be the same colour as both my V70 and previous S70. I think it's called Turquoise pearl.

PS just checked the road tax online site and it has it down as blue where mine is down as turquoise so it mustn't be the same colour after all although I think it looks the same in the close up pics LOL

Maybe a bit pricey. Depends what it goes to. I bought this:

for, as you can see £1220.

The one I bought is practically identical spec. But:

Mine has 65000 less miles on it than the one above.
Only 1 owner before the (very nice) chap I bought it off.
Good service history, all MOTs (so very confident of mileage), lots of receipts from Volvo main dealers and Volvo independent specialist etc.

I've spent a lot on it, but no surprises so far. New discs, pads, timing belt, exhaust, thermostat, central locking relay etc and full service. But just the little bits and pieces that you expect.

His BIN price looks a bit towards the top side, given the mileage. And I'd be wary of the 5 previous owners and his offer to take you car. Sounds a bit like a part time trader to me.
