Caution , heads up
I purchased a 2012 xc70 the other month , which if you read my other posts had various issues (leaking windscreen, soaking carpets and a non working sensus unit from an S60 ! ) . I rejected this car as advised and luckily had my monies refunded . This car is now listed for sale on Auto trader in Boston with no mention of the previous issues ! Reg number is ST12WFJ. I ended up purchasing a 2013 xc70 from Barbara on this forum and couldn't be more happier with it 😉

Curiously, the last post that I can see from you prior to this one is from 2019.
Not sure if that's just me ? |

Hmm , wonder where the posts have gone ? Anyway it was a one owner car and I purchased it through Auto trader and had the vehicle delivered to me . On checking the next morning (delivered late at night) it was very damp inside and there had been rain overnight. The A pillar interior trims were stained and Saturated with water and on checking the windscreen it wasn't bonded across the top and I could push it out at least 5mm ! The stereo and sat nav wouldwork as the infotainment screen says 'my s60' instead of xc70 . Obviously changed out for some reason and I expect water ingress ! Volvo quoted in excess of £2k+ to rectify , not including a new windscreen . Obviously the original garage I purchased it from has put it into the au tions - hence now in Boston and not Peterborough.

Regardless, on principle, I would not purchase any motor-car from a dealer whose advertisements include the words "1st to see will buy". Presumptuous nonsense!
Regards, John.

For those, curious to see the car. I see from the photos it still says "My S60", and the Sat Nav says "Navigation, Please Wait" Last edited by Rocinante; Apr 22nd, 2022 at 11:03. |

Its also missing the load cover from the boot, although that alone is unlikely ro be a deal breaker for many.
