Default *FOR SALE* 1998 VOLVO S70 SALOON 2.5 20V SE 4dr Auto

This beloved Volvo of mine is in immaculate condition inside, outside and under the bonnet. The car has been well maintained and has a full service history (part via Volvo dealer). The mileage is low of 74,850 and recent work includes a full service, replacement brake master cylinder and a brand new replacement electronic throttle unit (original Volvo) that cost £500 from the dealer in Warrington.

My asking price for the car is £1,250 (ono).

Full details are summarised below;

S70 Saloon 2.5 20v SE 4 door Automatic 1998 S Reg. with genuine 74,850 miles, Metallic Beige colour, ABS, Adjustable seats, Adjustable steering column/wheel, Air conditioning, Alloy wheels, Anti theft system, original Radio/CD/Cassette player, Central locking, Child seats, Colour coded body, Computer, Cruise control, Driver airbag, Electric mirrors, Electric windows, Fog lights, Front armrest, Head restraints, Headlight washers, Heated seats, Leather seats, Locking wheel nuts, Metallic paintwork, Power Assisted steering, Remote locking, Side airbags, Spoiler and Traction control. There are 2 previous owners. The MOT was due on 11/12/2011 but has been allowed to expire. However I am willing to offer a new full 12 months MOT to the buyer.

My reason for selling is because I have inherited another car from my parents and our drive is not big enough to keep this Volvo as we have three other cars in the family!

The car is presently in storage at a local garage in Wigan, Lancs. and any inspection is welcomed by prior arrangement with me - just send a message or call me on 07779468456

Note that the car is also listed in the S80 '98-'06 / S60, V70 & XC70 '00-'07 General forum but I have been advised that it ought to be listed in this forum as well.

Don't be down-hearted... yet.

Looks a lovely car...I'm sure it WILL sell.
Like Chris...if I was in the market..I'd certainly buy it.!

Has the cam belt been done.?...'cos it's due on mileage...and overdue on age if it hasn't..!

Hi Neil

Yes the cam belt was changed in a major service in December 2010 when the mileage was 70,029. I've done less than 5,000 miles since.

In December 2010, new front brake discs, brake pads and link rod were replaced.

I've also decided to drop my asking price to £1,100 so hopefully, someone out there will express an interest.

Thanks for that...it is important for prospective buyers to know that it's been done.
Good luck with the sale...someone's gonna have a really nice example.!
