V70 R - 98 - Auto - Metallic Burgundy

I feel a bit bad about posting a car in the for sale when I haven't posted much recently, but I think it is a good price and may be of interest to someone. I put it on another site and thought it may interest someone here too.

I am going to pop it on Autotrader this weekend for £1500

Details are

168,000 miles
MOT - 20/12/09
Tax - 28/02/10
FSH. (Volvo & Volvo specialist)
Electric Windows, mirrors & sunroof
Working Climate Control (Hot and cold)
Cruise Control
Sony CD Player
Heated Electric Front Seats
All other R Spec refinements.
Pulls well and drives well, I use it everyday for a 20 mile round trip to work and has never let me down. In the last 12 months or so it has had discs and pads all round, a rear calliper and a new cambelt. I purchased this car off someone I work with a year ago and he had owned it since 2004 after paying £10,000 for it from Kings Volvo. No oil leaks etc that I am aware of and seems mechanically solid.

I have set a low price because of the following....

Cosmetically it is not perfect, has a few parking dings and marks. The front bumper has a split in it and the alloys could do with a refurb, in my opinion.
The rear wiper does not work.
The petrol flap is open, but broken and does not lock with the car
ABS/Tracs light comes on sometimes. Volvo specialist advised previous owner this could be fixed by the usual fix of sorting the dry joints. I have not tried to do this.
Remote central locking works and drivers side door knob comes up, but you still have to turn the key in the lock to be able to open it.
It is due a service and the MOT is due in 3 months. (The only advisories at the last MOT were disc and pad related which have all been replaced)

Reason for sale is I have purchased a diesel mondeo

I think this is a good price for an R that you could continue to use every day as I have or spend a few quid on and really make nice.

Pics to follow this weekend after I have polished a few pound notes into it

lol, just having a manic weekend, washed the car tonight so will be there by tomorrow night

As promised here are some photos. I have washed and hovered the car, but not polished as i want people to see it how it really is. I have loads more images at better res of individual bumps and each wheel close up. Happy to email if required. Will be going on Autotrader and Pistonheads tomorrow, i think it is a good price. It has fitted volvo mats, with the "R" on them, but they are worn and left out of the photos, but come with the car.

Cheers

Dave
