My XC70 is not being used anymore as we have 2 cars at home and this one has only done 3500 miles since January so I may as well offer it for sale and if it goes it goes.

Has lots of toys, full leather, heated front seats, electric drivers seat with key memory, Bluetooth and USB/aux/iPod connections, High Performance Stereo, metal foldaway Dog guard, cruise control, auto wipers etc. Full Volvo main dealer service history until 144k miles when I serviced it with genuine Volvo items. Next service due 162k. Some of the pics were taken when I got it but it hasn't changed much, since then I've had the rear windows tinted and I'll update the thread with new images when I can, I am very busy right now so that may take a while but the car will be supplied as in the pictures, clean. In good condition all over with a few small marks, has a damaged light reflector on the rear bumper where someone hit it in a car park, few tiny stonechips etc.

Car has done 156k miles. 1 owner from new. 2011 MY large D5 badge fitted now

4 Pirelli Scorpian Verde tyres fitted not long ago and laser 4 wheel alignment done to the tune of over £600. MoT expires 31/01/2017. Tax £295 per year. 2008 on a 57 plate, first reg 31/01/2008. AWD system works lovely, car does not have a towbar, I fitted one and I have removed it as I use my Dad's Land Rover to pull the caravan so it's only towed a handful of times and I have already sold the towbar.

THE REASON IT'S CHEAP!!
3 things; the wheels need refurbishing due to corrosion around the valves to make them mint, the a/c is a little warm now, was fine last summer but needs a re-gas.
The car is a little down on power, it's a faulty turbo, I have codes to show. MIL is not on, no dash warnings etc and car drives fine, just a little sluggish past 3000 rpm. I was quoted £300 to fix this fault but I can't guarantee that and I'm getting married in 3 weeks so I've got no interest in fixing it so come get it while it's cheap!! I've driven it like this for ages and it's been fine, always gets you to where you need to go just accelerates a little slowly.

After the wedding once finances recover it'll be p/x'd in all probability for something else which would be a shame as I've spent a lot of money on this car since buying it and I'm only moving it on now as I'm just not using it. I've been critical of the car lately so if you think of it as a cheap project P3 for the price of a P2 you won't be disappointed. Other than the turbo it's a very nice car indeed!!

Car is on a private plate which will be taken off when the sale is agreed.

If it sells to a member I'll throw in the boot liner and the brand new unfitted aux belt guard I bought from another forumer. Also the car will be sold with 2 black key cases, right now my key is pink

I planned to keep the car another few years but I thought I'd try my luck now and put it up for sale, so offers in the region of £4500 are being considered but please don't be too insulting, I don't have to sell it I just want to

That's the lowest priced P3 you'll see for sale by a mile and it's a lot of car for the money so please fire away with the questions and come get the car!!!

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A PROJECT CAR SOLD WITH FAULTS SO NO WARRANTY ETC ETC Please remember this, it's why it's being sold for £3000 less than a similar one on Auto Trader.

Thanks

Reflector damage

Boot liner

Windows done

Aux belt guard

I think I've spent most of the money that needs spending on this car for a while, just needs a turbo repair and you're done! It's very cheap so please bear that in mind!!! No finance owing, HPI clear etc etc.

Remember just £4500 takes this car so it's a steal at that
