1998 S-plate Volvo S90 - Manual gearbox!

Dr Dokeh · Sep 9th, 2009, 11:27

It's with regret that I have to do this, but here we go...

Volvo S90 saloon in white
Registered late 1998 on an S plate
B6304FS2 3.0 litre inline six
M90 manual gearbox
111 thousand miles
Full history with loads of paperwork
Three keys and three alarm fobs
Near-perfect grey leather interior
Faultless body and paintwork
Full 12 months MOT
6 months road tax
One previous owner before me

A truly fabulous example of an S90 with the exceptionally rare manual gearbox. Before me it had one previous owner who obviously looked after it extremely well. The interior is excellent (the leather is still soft!) and even the engine bay is spotless. The FSH is all from a volvo main dealer and then a volvo specialist.

I bought this car last thursday (!) after having searched for one for what seemed like an eternity. Unfortunately having now driven it for nearly a week it's quite apparent that it's not the car for a tall bigfooted bloke like me

This may seem to be the most ridiculous reason for selling a car ever, but my stupid size 14s keep hitting the underside of the dash and there's no room to take my foot off the clutch without twisting my already faulty knee! So it has to go!

Sorry for the crappy pics, my phone camera doesn't do too well in sunlight.

As I've not even had a week I don't have the V5c yet, hopefully the DVLA won't be too slow with it.

I only want to break even on this car to get back what it owes me, so I'm after £1650 and you can drive it away. I've put it on here first as I'd really like to see an enthusiast buy it as it's really a stunning example.

You can email me at drdoke at gotadsl.co.uk with any questions or if you want more photos.

Steve.

I remember seeing this car a couple of years ago on the roundabout under the M4 by Newport and id like to confirm it looks fantastic!

Atleast I think it was the same car... unless theres another S plate S90 in brilliant white knocking about..

I like that a lot. Sadly I don't have the money lying around.

Should have updated this, the car is no longer for sale as I've managed to mostly work around the issues I was having with some gentle modification to the carpet and trim under the dash with a knife and a heat gun

That and I love the sound of the big six too much to let it go so easily!

I wonder... this one came from Essex, so it would be a hell of a coincedence if it was the same one!

Glad to hear you're keeping it Steve... they're pretty hard to come by and that could look pretty hot with some mods, needs a good drop though! What ya got planned, as I hear you're missing boost

LankyTim · Nov 5th, 2009, 19:55

No!, it looks perfect the way it is!
