For sale - V50 T5 SE Lux low miles!

[INS60T]

I'm under strict orders from SWMBO that one of my Volvos has to be sold.... so I'm advertising both cars on this forum in the hope one finds a good home.

So I'm offering up for sale my most recent purchase a very rare Volvo V50 T5 SE Lux manual gearbox (lower tax bracket!) with just over 56K on the clock.

The car is a 2008 facelift model on a '57 plate and very clearly the previous owners took good care of the car, it's in excellent condition throughout and I have cherished it. The car has:
Black leather
Nordic oak trim
Sunroof
Winter pack
Recently refurbished 17" alloys shod with excellent all-weather Michelin Cross Climate tyres.
Ferrita cat back stainless exhaust - just the right amount of growl!

The timing belt, water pump and auxiliary belts were replaced in November 2016 and everything works and works well. There's also a removable tow bar.

It is now due a routine service and this will be done (hopefully) before Christmas and certainly prior to any sale. The car has not long been MOT'd with a completely clean bill of health. The MOT tester was absolutely smitten with it.

Bad news:
The clutch, unfortunately, is just beginning to go. As a precaution I bought a genuine Volvo DMF, clutch kit and CSC from Elk Performance earlier in the year. But it's not bad enough to do the change yet so at the moment I'm living with it. The clutch is light and according to local sources the swap out for the new parts will make it perfect again. There are one or two marks on the otherwise gorgeous black paintwork.

Good news:
I firmly believe you would find it almost impossible to find a better example, which is why I bought it. I really like the T5 but it (or my S60) has to go - I'm not allowed to keep both! I paid over £5,200 for it with a dodgy wheel bearing - which I had changed immediately. The good news? Well you can have it for £5,000 cash and I'll include the DMF, clutch kit, DMF a service ahead of purchase, a full tank of BP Ultimate (all I ever fill it up with) plus a load of useful stuff like a Haynes manual etc.
Really this car goes like a stabbed rat (when you need it to), is deeply satisfying to drive but is entirely comfortable and practical.

Pics will be uploaded sometime this week - most will feature snow..... Please email me betanut@talk21.com or try a PM via the forum. If you're after a great S60... go here https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=275648
