Exclamation Thinking of selling my 1998 XC70 2.5T AWD

with a boot full of parts! I'm afraid I've no time anymore for this, she has served me well & will continue with new owner!

I'll be preparing the list & placing in the for sale section. She's in great nick, have kept her ticking since I bought it last May 2011, lots of new replacement parts, even down to the "will install one of these months" front drive shafts! Have all the documents up to date, just put on 3 more months road tax...

Anyone? or anyone know anyone? or anyone know anyone who knows anyone interested?

it is for sure sound! great solid car & gives the boy racers a good run in their tin cans!

I'd really like another volvo head to take it on though, I had rescued it from "used as family runabout whilst trooper was in garage" a few years back, it took 2 interior cleanouts to get rid of the lollipops stuck behind the rear seats

am considering keeping some of the parts though, this might lower the overall cost. cheers for the heads up!

Why did you remove the prop shaft?

noises coming from rear, but I think it was due to uneven tyres which have all been replaced - going to put it back in this week though
