Volvo V50 T5 R-Design 230HP manual 2008 grey £3000 Sheffield
Having recently bought my third Volvo in a row (an S80 V8), the time has come to sell my V50 T5.
It is the exceptionally rare and desirable combination of the stronger and more powerful T7 230HP engine (introduced in 2007), manual gearbox and R-Design trim. To illustrate just how rare these are see https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?q=volvo+v50+t5+r-design. There is only one other for sale in the country and it is double the price of mine. Mileage is 124k. I bought it in September 2015 and have put less than 5000 miles on it. In the last couple of years, whilst I've owned it it's had: Cam belt kit and water pump fitted by Shark Performance in 2016 New front pads and discs (rears still OK, but a replacement set of new, boxed Brembos included with the car). New front wishbones. Brand new Kumho rear tyres a couple of months ago. Fronts are Pirelli, with good tread. Condition is good for age and mileage. It looks smart inside and out but it is not a show car and I have reflected that in the price. This is a practical, very easy to live with, fast estate to enjoy driving daily. Next week before it sells I will get the rear drop links replaced. MOT is not due until 15th March 2019. I will update with better pictures of the car and service history and other paperwork tomorrow hopefully. Just letting forum folk know about it first, before I advertise it on Pistonheads and Autotrader. For now here, are a handful of pics I just grabbed quickly... Here is the recent MOT history: I will leave the private reg and pressed metal plates on it. Fuel tank is over 3/4 full. The car is located in Sheffield. £3000. Reply to this thread or PM me. Thanks, Nick

Argh, that is stunning!
Were it practical for me to run a T5 I'd have that in a heartbeat! Best of luck with the sale not that you'll need it.

Car is completely standard and has never been remapped.
Factory spec includes: Climate control Cruise control Rear Parking Sensors Front fog lights Isofix Adjustable lumbar support Space saver spare wheel Fold flat front passenger seat (great for Ikea) VED (tax) is £315 per annum. Insurance costs me less than £200 a year.

Both rear drop links replaced yesterday morning, which has markedly improved the handling and resolved the rattle from the rear over bumps.
Provisionally sold for asking price to first viewer yesterday evening, pending my finding some paperwork which I've lost somewhere in the house while we've been moving stuff for renovations.
