Default Sale: 97R 940 Celebration auto estate 98K miles

With great regret my Metallic Silver 97R Celebration auto estate must go. (I'm being provided with a V70 D5).

98K miles, 2 owners from new (mine last 6 years), FSH (has had 100K service at Volvo specialist including cambelt), recent exhaust and brake parts. MoT April 2010, tax October.

Auto, aircon, electric mirrors, grey half-leather interior, seats, luggage cover, roof rails, in fact all the Celebration goodies. But it doesn't have cruise control, and it's never had a towbar.

Everything works beautifully except the n/s headlamp wiper and the alarm horn. There's a very slight coolant loss which has been the same for a couple of years so I believe it's nothing serious, but i can't be sure where it is. And there are a couple of inconspicuous dents in the o/s rear quarter where I backed into a wall - smashed the rear light cluster, so replaced both with a matching pair from an earlier model (yellow flasher lenses).

I love this car and I don't want to let it go, but needs must. I'd like about £1K, but offers welcome. The car is in Berkhamsted.

Please pm me at Bannister(at)dsl.pipex.com if interested.

Default 97R Celebration - seats?

Yes (you thought) of course it has seats! Sorry. I originally wrote "heated seats" but then I realised they all have them, and I meant to delete "seats" as well as "heated".

Put it down to my distress at having to part with the car.

By the way, in my ownership it has done very few short runs - nearly all journeys have been 50 miles or more. I'm sure it's good for another 100K miles. Very smooth and eager.

I wouldnt mind doing a swap with my own 940 Celebration Estate.


Air conditioningto replace compressor is nearly as much as the car itself!!
