That's bizarre... Sorry to hear that Keith. If it wasn't an auto (I'm not sure why I don't like autos, I just don't) I'd consider it, definitely.

You can get some odd people looking at cars for sale.
I was looking at that particular V70 but I started to think that for a bit extra it might suit me better to get one with the Volvo engine rather than the Audi. I had been thinking there would be a big difference in price between the two but it's not as great as I thought. Still keeping an eye on yours though.

Roy you're quite right, although "odd" is being kind!
I've had an amazing number of calls - quite a few from people who obviously don't know Volvos, and don't know V70's, (and probably don't know what the hell they're doing!), who spin me stories and expect me to sell it for 5p. As I said to my wife though, it's nice to think that I've played my part in entertaining those sad people who are usually described as needing, "care in the community". "If I can bring joy into their humdrum lives, then my livin' ain't been in vain ferr nuthin!" (Singing in the Rain - my favourite film)

Yes, some sellers can be the same as well. I remember some years ago driving 60 miles to see a car and when I got there it hadn't been washed for some time. OK I thought lets see what it sounds like but then it wouldn't start and they guy was like, why are you wasting my time, when I said I wouldn't consider it without hearing it run.

Hope it's gone to a good home. Looked a lovely car and I was very tempted.
I owe you some thanks actually Keith. When I asked how much you wanted and you didn't really say but said it had cost you £2100 in all. I thought that's what you wanted and compared it with what else I could get about that price and I kept thinking he's selling it to get a V70 with the D5 engine that I really like. So of course I looked at V70 D5's and ended up with this V70 D5SE Auto with 142,000 on it for £2700. Has another 500 miles on it already.
