S40 V40: For Sale - V40 after minor accident

[matt0677]

Hello, I'm a rare visitor around here so sorry if I've placed this in the wrong section.

I sadly need rid of my V40 as I have been banned from driving for at least 15 months and I can't just let it sit there for that long. I've owned it about 7 years and it has only let me down once, oil light came on due to a clogged intake towards the end of last summer - it was not driven as such and has been rectified. Interior is very good for the age, just some minor damage like worn drivers seat, some scratches on the glovebox door.

There is a very intermittent fault with the alternator light but if you stop and start the car it's good for another few months. The alternator looked brand new when I bought the car so I think it's a sensor. Also once every 50 or so starts it turns over for a good few seconds but always starts.

It is approaching 150k but been well looked after, lots of documentation but the last few MOT's have shown the rubber is reaching it's lifetime - lots of bushes, boots etc. I know it needs a CV boot but this wasn't picked up on during the last MOT and it isn't losing grease.

Oh, it's greeny bluey grey, I think Bamboo Green but I'm not sure.

It's an 02 plate, but an 03 model so has the facelift of that year.

I start it every now and then and roll it forwards or back a bit to help the tyres.

The bad stuff:

I crashed through a fence (hence the driving ban).
The damage is a buckled alloy which won't hold air, so it's on the space saver for now. The buckled wheel is in the boot in case it can be rectified. Some of the lower front trim is either damaged or clips broken. Some scratches to the front offside the car and that's yer lot. Good old Volvo. Oh and slight damage to the grill but that was there already.
It will need two new tyres on the back quite soon, the fronts are almost new.

The good stuff:

It's solid as a rock. All tools etc are still there. Beige interior has been protected over the years with official Volvo plastic mats, and an aftermarket boot liner. The car has rarely gone over 65mph during my ownership. I believe the mileage to be low for it's age at just under 150k.

The terms (I don't like this):

The car is currently costing nothing as it is SORN and doesn't need insurance, so I will be happy to wait for a decent offer compared to "sold" prices on Ebay. I will attach one picture to show the colour and worst angle of the car. Any serious buyers who want different angles can ask and I'll add them to this thread, but the car is almost faultless except for the accident damage and 20 years of wear. I want the buyer to view the car in person, pay for it and take it away. I can offer the use of my computer or wifi if needed for bank transfer / tax / insurance otherwise it needs to be trailered, I'm in enough trouble with the law already

Not really interested in dealing with scrappies tbh so no offers of £100 thanks. I can make that selling a couple of parts and it's on private land and I have storage so I'm not desperate.

The car is located in Market Harborough, Leics. And I nearly forgot to mention I have both keys and docs for almost everything done over it's lifetime.
