Default XC90 2005 D5 Manual 156k, reluctant sale Glasgow £4200

Okay .. so here’s my no nonsense, honest advert that will hopefully help sell quickly my favourite Volvo so far , my XC90 , called MegaBob. This is a very reluctant and genuine sale .
Unfortunately it looks as if I’m going to have to sell MegaBob as I will unexpectedly need a tall van for my business .
I bought MegaBob a few months ago from Seb at SLR Motors down in Warrington a few months ago.
MegaBob is a 2005 D5 Manual with 156,000 miles on it. It has full Volvo Service History, runs perfectly , everything works , cold AC, no knocks , no rattles, gets 33-38mpg , and sounds great. Importantly the 4WD system has been checked by Seb and works perfectly as it should, and performed brilliantly in the recent snow.
When I bought it from Seb ( who breathes and sleeps Volvos ) for £3500 and it had been fully checked over by him before I bought it. It is MOT’d til August and any advisories have been dealt with by him.
First thing I did was have a tuning specialist check how MB was running healthwise. All good boosting healthily , so had MB open-sourced mapped on the road to approx 185 bhp , and much better torque/pull . I then fitted side steps to improve the look ( £230) , fitted 2 new Michelin Cross Climate tyres on the front ( £220 ) as the original Goodyears had 4.5mm left on them, and just ‘cos it was a bit rusty I had a hand built Cat back exhaust system fitted ( £500 ) as well for looks and a bit extra rumble. Also decided to fit the chassis mount inserts made by PartsforVolvo, ( £40 ) and had my local garage fit them ( £50 ) , definitely worthwhile and it feels less wallowy. Other small bits and bobs like new OE air filter, LED bulbs, new Bosch wipers, new Phillips Whitevision headlight bulbs , new number plate lights as the originals were cracked , ie get MB up to scratch .
So MB runs beautifully, and looks good, it has the odd touch-up of paint or small or small mark here and there but no dents and is a great looking car.
This is a reluctant sale and all I’m after for it is £4200 for the van I need. I think this is fair and cannot go any lower.
I am in Glasgow and happy to travel within reason if the buyer is serious and happy with the price.
Regards,
Steve

You need to reduce the picture size to suit the format of the picture. Ie JPG 1600x1200 (It tells you what size for what format when you select attachments) Once they're the right size, they will upload.

Thank you so much 4x4! And I’m ashamed to admit I decided to post the advert as quickly as possible so had to photo the car unwashed! Plenty more pictures available for anyone if they want.
