Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - SALE - 2004 V70R - Recent Import - 67k miles

I am unfortunately having to sell my beloved V70R due to a changing financial situation. It's recently had a lot of work done & money spent on it, therefore I am selling in fear of not being able to maintain it.

I purchased this from a fellow forum member back in February 2021, who had recently bought it via Japanese auction (in I believe November 2020-ish time). It was listed Grade 4 at auction, which is pretty much the best grade you can get for a car of this age.

I have a large binder of receipts, including all of the documentation from the import & registration process.

Link to thread of 'import journey' and gearbox maintenance

Onto the details...

Titanium Grey, with the Nordkap blue interior. The drivers seat leather is beginning to look a little tired. I have treated all of the leather with cream multiple times in my ownership which helped a little bit.
Passed MOT a few days ago, and had new nearside ball joint fitted at the same time.
Gauge cluster converted to MPH (I have the original KM/h clock backplates too)
Full Volvo service history from Japan (of which I have a translated Excel spreadsheet too), including a hefty binder full of receipts.
Engine oil & filter changed recently with Millers Oils EE Performance
Angle gearbox rebuilt with new bearings & seals 4,000 miles ago (all genuine Volvo parts).
Rear differential fluid changed at same time as angle gearbox rebuild.
Timing & auxiliary belt changed 7,000 miles ago with genuine Volvo parts.
4C with the Comfort, Sport Advanced modes all work flawlessly.
Gear changes are smooth, with no unexpected noise or flaring.
4x New Hankook tyres & alignment
All four Pegasus rims recently refurbished.
New front genuine Brembo brake discs fitted about 1,000 miles ago. I have a set of front Brembo pads still in their box that I will give to the buyer.
Gearbox fluid changed shortly before I purchased (link to thread above details this) not entirely sure of the exact mileage when this was done.
Centre console replaced with one in better condition shortly after import.
Custom 3D printed phone charging/electrical panel in CD changer slot in boot. (CD Changer was removed before I bought it unfortunately).
RTI screen reversing camera conversion.
Car is completely standard other than the panel in the boot & reversing camera.

I have probably done about 12,000 miles on it in my ownership. However, 80% of this is from cruises to Scotland (mostly motorway)

As above, I am saddened that I have to sell this. It's a beautiful example. There are no unexpected knocks, clunks, bangs, groans etc...

I would be looking for around £9,000 but happy to settle for a good offer.
