Avoid

Many probs including a split liner.

Someone was recently asking about the car, can't remember who.

Just a bump as its still up for sale and it may stop someone getting a problem car.

Love how the description is in almost invisible yellow - you need to highlight the text in order to read it

It has "an amazing stack of bills in a fetching leather bound pack" , I must admit this is poetry to my ears, I would love an amazing leather bound stack of bills, pity about the car.

I also love how they say that everything they sell is to be as seen and taken to be spares or repairs. Sounds like they know they're selling lemons and want to cover themselves so you have no comeback when you finally find out...

Lol, avoid this car but avoid the seller more!

Indeed. I'm no ebay expert, but the bidding seems a bit..... how would you put it.... "irregular" to me.

I bought my XC70 from them a few years back and 88,000 miles later at 200,000 it's still going strong. Plenty of other people on here have used them with no issues either.

They get a lot of Volvos in from the auctions and I guess this particular one has probably been part-ex'ed at another dealer. The seller is not necessarily going to know all the faults unless they are blindingly obvious or someone does the decent thing and tells them.

Well somebody just paid £7900 for it!
Isn't that over the odds for an '04?

Sale price is impressive, but I don't understand why the guy was saying it's a car with problems? Did he had the car before? The Ebay seller seems to have a good rating.

I'd have no problem with this seller either.
I've watched quite a few of their XC90 auctions and they seem to have a pretty decent eye for a good used car, which is reflected in their feedback.
They also allow you a no obligation test drive even after you've won it, which is better than most.
It's buyer beware, as it always should be.
It's always handy to know a bit more insider info though, if one of us recognises an old face up for sale.
