'98 V70XC Mk1 AWD, 10mths MOT, 85k

AllHailKingVolvo · Mar 29th, 2019, 16:32

Hi all,
My partner bought this car in January but doesn't like it-she drives my 744 all the time and finds the V70 too big, so we're parting with it.

Good bits:

Just under 85,000 miles

MOT until Jan 2020

Goes like a rocket-its the 190ish BHP one.

Nice full leather interior

7 seater with foldaway jumpseats in the boot

Stock alloys

Bad bits:

It needs some bits doing-rear discs and pads are required (they went down to the metal on our last journey in it) and the OSR caliper needs either replacing or rebuilding-it has a sticky piston.

It will need a new rear exhaust assy before the next MOT. The current one has corrosion and is blowing somewhat. Sounds great but will need doing!

It had a spot of hydraulic lifter noise when cold-this goes away after 30secs of running or so. I'm sure an engine flush or a blast with some ATF in the oil before changing it would settle this down.

There is a patch of bubbling on the OSF wing along the detail line, will be easy to sort for someone with the skills.

The handbrake works but isn't brilliant-I would imagine new shoes would sort this when you do the rear discs and pads.

Would benefit from a good polish and some plastic detailing with Gtechniq C4 or similar to make it really stand out.

I've no idea what it's worth-it's a solid, low mileage car which would make a great motor for someone with a little bit of work. Quite an unusual car which is bound to increase in value as time goes on.

It's not being used and we want to see it sold to the right person who will give it the love it deserves.

All offers considered! We're in Sherborne in Dorset.

Cheers
Phil
