Gauging interest on my C70 T5 Gt Cab in Saffron

Peteodell · Oct 19th, 2015, 22:44

Hi all.

Only purchased this recently after looking at a few and finally getting this one due to general condition, history and low owner count.

It a 2001 model with 106,000 miles and a full service history (stamps and receipts) everything works as it should and the only minor issue is that she hunts a little at idle. Looking around its look like a IAC clean would do the job. Also fitted with factory fit Sat Nav

Fitted with 2 X Brdfestone tyres on the rear, and 2 Khumo's on the front. All have more than enough tread remaining and MOT is up in July 2016

Body work is generally really tidy, as you can see in the pics. It does have a graze on the N/S/R corner but this has been touched in and does not look too bad. The car pulls nice and strong through all 5 gears as you would expect. It's a nice drive and looks the Biz!!

Roof does not leak, it does have some little nicks but remains water tight and operates as expected. Interior is in good condition for age. Sole wear to the drivers bolster, but mainly cracked (no holes or tears) would probably look a whole lot better after a treat and clean. I may well have done this by the time someone looks anyway.

Reason for sale is simple. As a second car I thought I could get away with the Cabby/2 door set up, but it has become clear that it's not going to work. Couple that with the fact that my 2 year old son bursts into tears as soon as input him in it (every time !!) it's not looking like the best of choices. I can only think that his taste in cars differs to mine!! lol.

Will be looking for £1250.00 ono, but could well be interested in a swap for a 850/V70 T5 saloon if anyone is interested. See some pics below, if you need anymore info then please ask away.

Thanks for looking

I have a 1998 s70 t5 I could swap you. 125K full history. Body work is tatty but there's no rust. It has just had all new rear brakes for the mot. This is the previous sale post.

Hi there.

Looks a solid motor mate. I could be interested, but with the bodywork issues on the car I would not see it as a straight swap I'm afraid. If you were willing to put some cash my way as well, then maybe we could do something.

Cheers

Pete

How much were you thinking?

Peteodell · Oct 28th, 2015, 20:35

Anyone else interested?

740T · Oct 30th, 2015, 15:55

Any interior shots?

Peteodell · Oct 30th, 2015, 20:01

Have a couple here. Can get more tomorrow if needed

Peteodell · Nov 1st, 2015, 09:49

Have really made the decision that this needs to go now.

So if you are interested and want any more pics or a chat, then just send me a PM and we can go from there

Really is a genuine car that looks the biz. Great history as well.
