Hi, I have a 1998 V70 2.5, 10v auto. She has done about 140,00 miles and regularly serviced.
I have used her for business for past 10 years but now I have retired I have no further need of her. My Wife has a smaller car that we now use.
I can take the V70 to our local breakers and get €100 but is sicken me to think it will be crushed or the breakers make a mint from stripping it.
In spain now if one sells a car the seller is responsible for the cost of repairs to engine and gearbox for the first 6 months. Sods law something will happen and cost me a small fortune. The fact that nothing serious has ever happened is beside the point.
I have neither the time nor the ability to strip and sell parts.
To transfer ownership here is very expensive and will cost about €200 to €500.
I live near Fuengirola and wondered whether there are any guys who are not a million miles from me who would like the car for €300. plus transfer fees. I should post pics but have absolutely no idea how to do it. jack. P.S, I assume this is posted in correct section.
