Default V70R - Flash Green / Atacama - 60k Miles - Fresh Import

Good evening all!

Before I take proper pics and write a full and slightly more detailed advert I figured it best to offer up my perfect spec V70R on the forum.

I imported the car this year as a small passion project / childhood hero after my dad having one from new as a kid. Having always browsed Japanese auctions I couldn't quite resist the temptation for a bid and as such I have this gorgeous (but slightly unnecessary) Volvo on the drive!

As lovely as the car is, it just doesn't quite get the nod over the current Cayman as such it doesn't make an awful lot of sense leaving it sat on the drive.

Spec as follows:

Volvo V70R
5 Speed Auto
Flash Green / Atacama Leather
94,000km / 59,000 miles
MOT until March 2022
Last Service March 2021
Japanese Auction Grade 4/C - No Accident History

Service Records and Export Certificate to verify mileage, dash and clocks still original and read in KM. DIM in Japanese (No error messages!).

The car has a good service history with 8 traceable services, a lot of Japanese cars I have had are via sticker/sheets so sadly often get lost. I have service information for 2005, 2006, 2010, 2014 (cambelt), 2014, 2015, 2016, 2020 and 2021.

The seats are in fantastic condition as can be seen in the pictures. The car was Graded 'C' for interior at auction. I have had the A-Pillars retrimmed (peeling) and the seats refurbished so in my opinion it is far higher than this now. There is a small mark where someone has removed a phone holder or similar from above the speedo.

Exterior wise the car was Graded 4 which is classed as very good. I would consider it excellent for the age with only small cosmetic touches required. To make this car perfect I would suggest replacing the windscreen rubbers (perished), roof rack rubbers (missing) and either spraying or back to black on some trims. The paintwork itself appears to be in very good shape and from what I can tell original other than one small smart repair to the NS Wing.

The car itself drives perfectly, all 4C setting work as expected as does sport and manual mode on the auto box. There are no surprise knocks or bangs. Tracking is good and brakes stop very well. The rear tyres were replaced at MOT and fronts have good tread remaining. All buttons and switches work perfectly and the aircon is ice cold! Wheels have very minor marks.

I would rather talk to a buyer through Whatsapp if easier and that way I can send detailed pics through so you can get a good feel for the car. If this is helpful please PM and I can send over my number!

I am looking for £8995 which for this colour combination I feel is an extremely far price. Whilst the car is in excellent condition, I do appreciate it is no perfect but this should allow whoever is purchasing enough budget to have one of the cleanest flash green V70R's at the right money!

If you require more information or would like to arrange a viewing please feel free to drop me a message. Car is located in Plymouth.

I know it’s a popular colour, but I much prefer the interior to the exterior. Suspect it’s the transmission that’s slowing the sale down.
