Description
Volvo V70 T5 02 2.3 250 BHP Manual 5 speed.
Genuine 113K which will increase slightly with use.
MOT till May 2017 which it sailed through with no advisories.
Many new parts fitted since I've owned it, including discs and pads, 4 matching tyres (I'm anal about matching tyres!), two new Lambda sensors (which cost a fortune!), new track rod ends, new inner tie rod. Cambelt, tensioner, idler pulley (all genuine Volvo) changed back in April of this year.
Well spec'd SE model with cream heated leather and Drivers memory seat with memory mirrors too, and most importantly one of the few manual T5's I've ever seen without a ripped drivers seat bolster (believe me, I looked everywhere).
It has the premium audio system, built in rear booster seats (great for the kids), 4 electric Windows, folding heated electric wing mirrors, a picnic table with cup holders in the rear armrest, dual zone climate control with vents for the rear passengers, built in dog guard, removable rear seats, 12V aux in boot, remote central locking, and probably plenty of things I've forgotten.
The bodywork is completely rust-free but does have a trolley dent or ten which you'd expect for a 14 year old car and a scuff on the corner of the rear bumper prior to me owning it.
It's also had a new clutch earlier in it's life as the original owner seemed to like spending ££££'s at Volvo and I have a stack of receipts to show this.
The only minus points to note are the following:
Dashboard information centre shows 'alarm service required' at initial start-up (probably needs a new module or battery)
Driver's heated seat does not work, which I'm reliably told is a broken wire and despite there being a YouTube tutorial on repairing this I've not had a chance to do it.
This is a seriously quick and comfortable family car with loads of space.
She pulls like a train all the way from zero to 155MPH (on a private road of course!)
I have all the original manuals and books, plus two keys which Volvo charge a fortune for!
This car has had everything expensive already done, genuine timing belt, idler and pulley, four tyres with thousands of miles left on them, new discs and pads, two new lambda sensors, 10months MOT etc etc.
You could buy a cheaper, abused example and spend £1000 having the timing belt, brakes and tyres done, but why bother?
This is a straight, unmolested, genuine manual T5, becoming rarer by the day.
I also have a spare set of genuine wheels (same design and size as those already on) shotblasted and ready for powder coating which I'd be willing to negotiate on.
