v70 or s60
 

Hi I am looking for a v70 or s60 p2 preferably, specifics,
mileage not too high <125,000
reasonable service history
belts and pulleys done in the last 30'000 miles,
in good overall condition ( cosmetically does not have to be perfect ),
I have viewed too many cars with niggly faults that have been described as easy to fix £20 jobs that the owners say they have'nt got round to or the cars have needed 2 or more tyres etc.. or the dealers have got a thimble worth of petrol in the tank for the test drive. ( rant over )
Anyway I have £900-950 to spend I live in the newcastle area if anyone has a car for sale or could point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful.

For less than a grand, any car you buy is going to need work doing.

I'd say you're asking far too much for far too little TBH I'm afraid.

There was a cracking S60 on here recently that was gas converted that might fit the bill for you but it was still over your budget at £1,500.

Here's the S60. If you can stretch your budget then you'd could do a whole lot worse than this.

What you're describing here isn't a sub £1000 S60 and especially not V70.
You need to increase your budget or lower your expectations. :thumbs_up:

Have you considered an S80? They don't tend to be as expensive as the S60s.

But whatever you get at that price is likely to need a little fettling, so leave some spare money for the little jobs it's likely to need.

If you give a bit (alright a lot) on the mileage, my V70 D5 will be coming up for sale shortly. All belts and pulleys replaced with genuine Volvo when I bought it.
Fair condition and just gone through MOT with no advisorys. Had it a couple of years ish' and only selling now because I might be buying my workmates car transporter to go self employed.
Was looking at £1000 without private plate, or £1200 with.
