i saw it on ebay. there is only x3 volvo s70`s on ebay.

[MakeItSo]

Yeah, I’ve not seen many for sale, and not sure I’ve seen another in the wild either!

To be honest, it’s a bit of a reluctant sale. I’d rather keep it, but with mortgage going up, it’s hard to justify a third car for sentimental reasons only.

i know what you mean. ive got my s70 t5 on ebay for 1850 had the chance to sell it 4 years ago for 2500. ive hit the age bracket hard for slowing down, spend too much of my time looking after 4 cars and keeping them roadworthy and want to spend more of my time doing less.

I can completely appreciate that.
When it stops being a hobby and more of a chore, it stops being worth it.

I’ve got a bad influence persuading me to keep it and fix it up.
They can help me with the ABS module, which is the main thing that I needed assistance with.
Not sure the wife will be please though, she’s always wanted the S70 gone 😂

not worth thinking of a divorce either, if you do that more thank likely she will get the house and cars and youll be left with the mortgage to pay
