'99 v70 tdi

Hi all,

The time has come to part with the V70, I have owned it since Aug '08. It has had regular services carried out every 5k (oil &filter) by myself. It had a major service at 170k, belts timing etc. It has tax and mot.

I've added the wheels and leather to make it that bit nicer, after putting the alloys on didn't look right because it sat so high, so I fitted the eibach springs to drop it down a little and stiffen it up. I'd say it was just right now, stiffer than the original but not to hard like a lot of aftermarket springs.
Since I fitted the seats the SRS light has been on, it needs to be reset in a volvo dealership

179,000 miles
Manual
V70R alloys
Larger brakes off a T5 302mm
Eibach lowering/sports springs
Towbar
Black leather, heated
Full electrics
Dual climate control
New tyres on the front in Jan

The only bad points to mention are on the exterior of the car, the front bumper has a small scuff, the rear bumper is a bit tatty aswell, there are chips to the paintwork where my dogs have been jumping in and out, also a larger area where a towing hitch on a trailer has court it. (will take some pics if you want to see).
Also I think the clutch needs attention, it is a bit stiff going into gear when stationary ie 1st and reverse, it doesn't slip when driving so maybe the slave cylinder or linkage something like that at a guess

I don't really know what price to ask for it as they vary so much, anything from £1600 up to £4k on fleabay, as a start I will listen to offers around £2K as I know I can get good money breaking it, I don't want to go down that route tho.
Any input on what it is worth or what I should advertise it for would be greatfull as will be putting it on ebay or the trader in the near future

will add some pics shortly
