Before we get a pitiful part ex offer

[Matt B]

Folks,

Not really an active member but have owned our XC90 for the last 3 years.
Circumstances mean that its time to part with the car, and before we end up getting a rubbish p-ex valuation I thought I would put a heads up on here.

55 plate 185 D5 SE
Cream leather (electric but not heated)
Factory Sat Nav with remote control
High Performance Stereo System.
Nokia bluetooth hands free fitted.

102K.

We have had the car serviced recently with the cam belt being done.
Front discs and pads replaced.
Rear discs and pads need doing but I have all the parts here ready to do.
Discs, Pads, Handbrake shoes and springs.

Parking sensors are in error, it happened in the cold weather last year and I think a sensor has gone but have not got round to replacing it.

Offers in the region of 8.5K would see you acquire a thoroughly brilliant family car,

Hi Matt,

I am in the market for an XC90, but was only interested in those examples with heated seats (as we have those in our other car and vouched to have them in my next car) BUT wondering if your leather becomes really cold in cold weather? Silly question, perhaps, but just want an opinion, as I may be interested in yours!!

Hi guys

Pics - I can do. I will sort some out at the weekend.

Heated Leather. Ideally I would have liked this but I cant really say I have ever got in and thought "do you know what this car really needs"
In all seriousness I bought this car on the strength of it being a 185 over a 163, and the decent stereo and Sat Nav sealed the deal - my bum can heat itself.

Ok, bit of an update.

New car ordered and will be here mid April.

Fitted the rear brake discs and pads last weekend and had a fresh MOT on Monday.

Pictures as requested.

Ordered a replacement reflector for the one that got pinched the other week















Mats too



and plastic cover



Going to leave it for this week then whack into pH and Auto trader. This is a great car and it benefits from low road tax and its a 185/6 speed.

I have unheated leather seats, and whilst heated seats would be nice, I have never found the need to tick "heated seats option box". Wouldnt say the leather is warm although I myself cannot feel any cold on my bum!

Ive always thought a heated steering wheel would be a nicer option.
