960 2.5 Automatic for sale - North Wiltshire
 

Reluctantly, after 7 years, it is time to find a new home for my 960 2.5 Auto Saloon. Yes, really, it is a 2.5 Auto.
This car has had one owner before me from new, and has now done 057270 miles.
It has always been the third (or fourth) car, kept under a cover, and has been used infrequently for long / special trips - the last significant one in 2019 was to Brussels. But 2020 has seen practically no use, and I do not see myself making proper use even after lockdowns are over.

The only issue is that at some point in the past the sunroof has leaked, leading to a sagging roof lining. There is a full Volvo service history up until 2020.

With lockdown I am not expecting any sale to conclude until that is over (March ?) but it would be nice to get the sale agreed during February.

Price ? around £2000 has been suggested given the very low mileage and two owners, but a good home is more important.

Such a shame for me that it’s a saloon and not an estate. Given that milage and history £2,000 sounds on the low side. I would have thought £2,750 would be a good price settling on £2,500.

If you were willing to have it sitting around a long time maybe even a little more.

If an estate I would have been all over this!

Does look lovely. Interior is sweet :teeth_smile:

Hi, is anyone potentially interested ? just waiting for the end of lockdown ?

I would be if it was an estate

More pictures would help your sale.

I like the number of people telling him it's not an estate.

Helpful comments, people, come on.

GLTWS.

MOT until January 2022, and will have 4 new tyres (Goodyear)

Keith,

I am a little suprised this is still say around. It looks lovey inside! What is the body work like? Is the paint clean and shiny?

Did you know the vehicles history?

Yes, I’m a bit disappointed about the lack of response.
The colour is a smokey grey - not bright - with hints of lilac in it.
The vehicle was first registered to the dealer in Yeovil as a demonstrator, the basically 1 owner from 1996 to 2014, with me as the second real owner since then. The MOTs sadly show the annual mileage dropping until the last couple of years it was basically the Volvo dealer coming to take it for servicing.
The car has been used infrequently for significant journeys - there is still little to match it for a 500 mile round trip in a day, or popping over to Brussels for the weekend - so there is really very little engine wear.
But with various things happening in the last year I can’t see myself really using it - and so hoping someone from the club will take it to keep and cherish it.
