1999 V70 T5 Auto for sale
 

Hello,
I am 85 and due to failing eyesight my optician has advised i now give up driving. I have owned this car since Jan 2009 so over 12 years
The car is Nautic Blue Metallic and has covered 153k.Just over 50k in my ownership and has 18 stamps in the service book and have receipts for £6000 spent.
In my ownership the following apart from servicing has been carried out.

The original headlights/sidelights nave been replaced with items from Parts for Volvo due to poor output from the orifinals.
Gearbox oil has been changed.
Cam belt and water pump done.
Wheels refurbished ( and still look good }
New Sachs self levelling shocks.

The bodywork i consider to be excellent considering the age with very few age related marks.
Likewise the interior has very little wear with no rips or tears in the Oak leather.
The engine has no leaks whatsoever
The car has a tilt/slide sunroof in perfect working order again with no leaks.

Negatives include.
The air con is not working,it has never bothered me as i did mot need to drive in the rush hour freezing/hot weather.I believe it has a leak but not 100% sre
The rear load cover does not retract automatically but does rollout and clips in plce so perfectly usable.
Sadly only 1 key and the plipper needs refurbishing.( i believe someone on e/bay does this for about £30-35.

The car was serviced in 2020 when all the filters were changed including cabin filter,fuel filter.oil & air along with the plugs.
Not serviced in 2021 as only 900 odd miles covered. The front tyres nave don less than 3000 miles and the rears although mentioned on the MOT are good for at least until the next service.

The car is still taxed and insured until August and the M.O.T runs until May 15th 2022 so viewing and test drives all legal



The car is based in Walsall West Mids,any questions please ask and you can contact me either through the forum or at simki8821@gmail.com

Due to my age and lack of tech knowledge i am struggling to attach some photos,it keeps saying upload of file failed and i am stumped. So if anybody is interested send me an e/mail and i will do my best.

The price of the car is £1000 which considering the condition and money spent i think is very fair.

PM on its way.

I am still trying to attach photos,what am i doing wrong.
{ 1 } I click on manage attachments.
{ 2 }Find photo on laptop then click on it.
{ 3 } Select upload

Every time it says fail to upload

Whats wrong Thanks

The only way I've found to work is to first upload your pics to an image hosting site which is not only easy but also free.
Once you select an image theres a button to provide a direct link for forums.
I use imgur

I've sent you my email address so please send any images there in the meantime.
Thanks.

Sorry to hear you’re having to give up driving, that must be tough to hear. Your car sounds like it’s going to make someone very happy.

Try making the images smaller. Try to resize them to around 1000x1000 pixel size

Thanks for the replies,i am struggling so much with my eye i cannot read anything on my phone,laptop or anything without a magnifying blass and i need a better one. cheers

To XCR Sent photos as requesred but message on my phoe says address not found.Any reason why.

I've sent you a pm with my email address, send me the pictures and I'll post them up for you.

If the pictures are large best not send them all in one email so best send two or three emails or even 4 or 5 if need be
