Default Potential Sale: 2003 S40 2.0

Test driving a potential company car on Tuesday and if I like it, I will be selling my 2003 2.0 S40 SE automatic in silver, with just over 70,000 miles currently.

The car has 1 previous owner, a full service history (last serviced by Volvo in 2015 and then by independents since then), in my ownership the car has had an oil change every 6 months/4,000 miles and has been impeccably maintained. I have a large amount of receipts for the various parts that have been purchased for it. The tyres all have good tread levels on them, all of them are Yokohama BluEarth with the exception of an Avon. The timing belt and water pump have been replaced during my ownership (I think during 2016)

The car was given an almost full body respray (with the exception of bonnet and roof) in 2016 along with the alloy wheels being refurbished and painted in anthracite. The windscreen has also been replaced recently as the original one had become scratched over time. The car is cleaned regularly, including the underside.

The car comes with winter and family pack and factory fitted parking sensors.

I’d like to get £1,800 for the car as I think that’s reasonable, considering the condition of the car and (for the age) low mileage.

The car is based in Lincoln.

I will attempt to add photos this evening (or provide a link to some photos)

Any questions, please ask.
