FS: Tired out 2004 S60 D5
Hi all,
Just agreed to buy a new car, and I'm left with my old Volvo. Ran it through We Buy Any Car, who said it was worth £300. But then remembered this forum, so figured I'd give anyone here first refusal if they wanted it for any reason...! (hrm, don't reply yet, read on!) However, be under no illusion, I reckon it needs a decent (£1k+) amount of money spent on it to get it up to scratch. I'll start with the faults:
The spec and vital facts which come to mind:
I've had this car for 5 years and 100k miles. I've serviced it myself, but... given it cost me under £3k all those years ago, I've not been fastidious with keeping it clean and looked after. The steering is probably the most frustrating bit, think that alone will be circa £1k to put right and.. since it passed an MOT in that state I sort of ignored it, vowing to fix it "at some point". I've got it insured for another week starting today, so if there's no interest after that that then I'll go to one of those 'We buy any car' services and get... well, whatever it's worth. Basically, you should consider this car to be in need of a load of love, or (more likely) a donor for spare parts or for a project. While it can be driven away, the notchy steering's a bit annoying, so would suggest a trailer or a short drive to a garage for a new steering rack. An interesting parallel here would be a piano sold as "interesting sounding firewood", this is the car equivalent. I'll get some photos up soon, but in the meantime if anyone's interested, let me know about any offers! I fully expect to be laughed at, so.. go for it. Location is central Manchester, feel free to PM or reply in here. Of course, inspection welcomed & encouraged! Last edited by blueacid; Aug 15th, 2019 at 12:56. |

Ahhhh Lovely car(nice pics) with TETHYS alloys which suited the car so well .....
My first Volvo was a My03 S60 D5 SE and of all the variants of the S60 since that year shape is still my favourite. Sold at 144.000 in Px for a My04 D5 V70 SE. Loved them both. Gone but not forgotten.
