1997 Volvo V70 S1 2.5 Manual 110k

[Roderick Plinge]

Hi guys, long time since I posted on here, but then I haven't had a Volvo for a while! Not so long ago I purchased a V70 S1 2.5 manual as a non-runner, which turned out to be a very simple fix. I have just MoT'd the car after the previous owner had left it standing for some time. I am thinking maybe I will sell it, and just wanted to test the water. The car has been very well maintained and I have invoices for the following, totalling in excess of £3,500:

I have almost every old MoT for the car I think. The car has a comprehensive service record being serviced at 9416, 19566, 27180, 34814, 41719, 43706, 63577, 87105, 90818, 99989, 110,740. The bodywork is generally very good indeed, but the bumpers could do with a repaint. Interior is near mint. The car runs exceptionally well, but a couple of days after the MoT the lambda light came on. I returned to the garage and they informed me that this is probably due to the length of time the car has stood without being used.
I am not really sure what this car is worth, but I am putting it on eBay and will see what happens. If anyone is interested, or thinks maybe I am asking too much for the car, please let me know, I would appreciate this. I have more pics if anyone is interested. Thanks and all good wishes, Dave.

Decided to end the eBay listing and keep my car. Having driven it for a week now it's back on the road I think I would probably regret selling it.
