2005 Volvo V70
For sale is my 2005 Volvo V70 estate. It took me a great deal of time to find this example, it's been a joy to own.
Here's a few reasons why I picked this one: The outside is in amazing condition, no scratches or rust to be seen. There is two trolley 'dings' but for the age it's impressive. The interior is mint. It has the black cloth (I personally don't like leather) and benefits from the winter-pack. It also has the rear Volvo blinds which are super handy with kids. I have also got a stealthy AUX cable hidden in the early console. I had isofix put in too for my child! It's done 120,000 miles, that's less than 10k per year. It's got the 2.4l petrol naturally aspirated engine. Really smooth, I average 32mpg with 80% city driving. It has a full service history. In my ownership I have replaced all the tyres for matching ones, all the shocks and springs (eibach lowering springs), and the clutch and flywheel (expensive job)! The car has a slight knock when traveling slowly, i think it's just a front bushing. Apart from that, this car needs nothing. Open to swaps! Any questions just ask. |

What price would you be looking for? Is it a 140 or 170hp?
Also when was the cam belt last replaced? |

Price is a very good question! Sorry I forgot to write that, looking for £1400, offers considered.
It's the 140bhp, having the extra 30bhp never bothered me. Cambelt was replaced around the 80,000 mark. If you're interested I can find the exact mileage. Thanks |

What's the reason you are getting rid of it?
What sort of car are you looking for in swap also? Cheers Liam |

I no longer need such a big car, my commute to work is now only 10mins drive. Just looking for something smaller, interested in Japanese cars.

Interior
If those Vacuum stripes on the carpet & interior are any indication, you really do look after that car!
Good luck with the sale. |

Noticed a great difference, but that's probably because I'm comparing them to the original 13 year-old shocks that were on the car! The real difference was the lowering springs, completely cancelled out all body roll, feels much more planted.
