Hi James,
Thanks for your message. I’m sorry, I tried to reply your message, but still I can’t DM you. That's a shame, I thought you were still based in London. Do you have any plans to come this side anytime soon? With regard the things that need doing: 1. I saw that in your original add, I thought was fixed by the garage. 2. Thanks for let me know. 3. Apparently, a PITA to change… Do you have an estimate by a garage about how much it could cost to replace the gear shift mechanism? Some other questions: 4. Did you sort out the problem with the RWD not engaging? 5. When was the Cam belt, auxiliary belts, pulleys / tensioners, water pump replaced? 6. What kind of service history does the car have since you own it? 7. Is there any warning messages? 8. Did you repair the faulty locks? 9. How are the tyres now? 10. Do you have more photos of the car, interior and engine bay? Regards |

I go up sometimes but not if I can help it
Can't recall what I sent you but the engine mount is new issue - the u/j was fixed. Gear shift mech is literally a lump of plastic that needs torx bolts to undo, remove and replace, though the advice given by the parts dept was don't move the position/cut zip tie until the connecting rod is in place. No Water pump wasn't done but the cam belt was done when I got it, just in case. None I get it serviced when it gets an MOT No warnings other than the service one, which I need to turn off as my local garage never bothers with that bit, even on my RRS. No - cba as I don't live in London anymore and the OSR one I just do when I get out the car if I'm in "town". I have the motors though. As you would expect - the rears probably need changing soon, fronts have some life in them. As I said, wasn't actually actively looking to sell, this is by no means an immaculate car, the price reflects a) the mileage and b) its police "heritage". As a Volvo its at least 1/2 the price of any equivalent one of the same mileage but it is reliable, goes like stink when you want it to, is suitably frugal when you don't and has all the touches & practicalities that you look for/expect.

Hello James,
I’m sorry, I missed your message. I’m afraid but with the lack of recently service history and the problems the cars have, I have to say sorry, not for me. Cheers Quote:

At £3500 for a 11 plate XC70, niggles or not... it doesn't sound like a dear car to me. Think adjusting one's expectations accordingly are prudent at times like this. If you want top spec, low miles and no issues... triple your budget.
Good luck with the sale, I suspect if it were nearer the green bits... somebody would have taken this by now. Superb winter tool / dog transport / general tool and given the market today, £3500 for that sounds rather cheap to be honest. |
