V90 se 24v auto

[pelem]

Just put my wonderful V90 up on ebay...
eBay item number: 252930976663

Here is the text I put up and there are high definition photos on the listing.
..............
In great condition! I bought it nearly 10 years ago!
So rare to find one in presentable condition. After all only some 6000 V90's were made in 1998! 9000 in total. Ever.
It would not take much to turn this car into a show car
It’s been a dream to own, to drive, very sorry to see it go.

Bodywork overall is fantastic for this age of car. There are small imperfections as one expects in the paintwork, a slight dent to the bonnet, roof and also to the rear quarter driver side, but they could be easily professionally massaged out. Most marks are on the bumpers and can be dealt with easily.

2 keys and 4 fobs, 3 are spare and not coded to the alarm.

Rust? I have found a tiny bit of bubbling to the corner of the rear door… it’s just starting, so very easy to fix.

Inside everything is clean and unmolested.

The leather is in great condition, soft, comfortable and the beige colour making the interior bright. The carpets, door cards look great, nothing is cracked. Sunroof works, trip meter is fine. There is a boot liner, working and straight boot cover and tools, spare wheel, even the foam spacer between the spare wheel and card cover. Dog guard and original carpet protectors.

All the accessories work except for those listed below

Air con does need re-gassing and drivers heated seat panel switch needs looking at.

The switch controlling forward movement on front passenger seat needs attention.

Radio works, CD’s stick.

Under the bonnet.
All good, but there are things that need to be done.

Last service was exactly a year ago and was extensive as I had the time, so now due a regular annual service (filters plugs inspection. It’s also about time to do the crankshaft/ accessory belts.

I will include the spare belts and rollers but I don’t have the belt tensioner.

There is a slight oil leak, but not sure where it’s coming from and there is the slightest mayo on the dipstick, but I do mean slight. I think its condensation as it comes and goes and no sign inside engine or in the oil when draining. Been noticing it in winter for a few years now.

I did do a combustion gas check of the coolant and it was negative, so I think the head gasket is still good.
Gearbox works perfectly, both cooling system are great, no leaks

To pass the MOT at the end of the month, wishbone bushes (Front Suspension arm rubber mounting) will need to be done.

I have not had it on the lift so can't comment to any greater depth on the underside.

There was an advisory at the last MOT about one of the track rod ends, so I got the part but did not have time to do it. The part comes with the car but I don't think it's an MOT issue yet.

Exhaust system looks corroded, particularly the 2 boxes, but it is not blowing as far as I can feel and it has been on the car for about 4 years...

Intank pump or relay needs to be done, but as long as you are not cornering at high speed with a near empty tank it’s not an issue. It failed some 8 years ago and never been an issue.

Included with the sale is a spare front bumper. It's even the right colour!

Front passenger tyre has a slow leak but all the tyres have good tread and have wheel locks and the tool is present. Brake pads will need doing at some point.
Hand break system is all good.

Front door stays have both gone. "Stays" slow the speed the door opens by stiffening the movement.

The bottom engine plastic protector cover is off the car atm so that will be included but not re-installed.

Tiny impact point on windscreen that was repaired 10 years ago and is not an MOT issue.

The car runs well, always starts first time in all weathers, even if it has been sitting for a while.

£500 is a bit steep.

I agree regarding the MOT. I must admit that I would not even consider a car - no matter how tempting - with, at best, a couple of weeks MOT remaining. Having it tested would not only demonstrate faith in the car, but enable you to negotiate a higher price, as 'nozamaman' suggests.

Regards, John.

Me too, if only for the colour! It's just what I'll be looking for in about 6-12 months when I retire the V40 and want something larger. But let's face facts, it's a dog disguised by clever wording. "Extensive" service, but needs new belts so not very extensive at all. Dents, to be expected but on the bonnet and roof? Untold amounts of advisories which are a year out of date. Rust, tiny bit so "easy fix", might as well be an entire panel for it'll need painting anyway. Marks on bumpers dealt with "easily". And mayo in the oil! Conveniently unknowledgeable about the underside despite "extensive" servicing, Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Everything is easy this, easy that, easy other. Sure, I could fix it. Or course I could fix it. But £500? Can't even begin negotiation with that. But with a year's ticket, I bet it'd fetch better than £500, and sell like hot cakes.

somebody must be interested , its currently fetching £630 ! thankfully i paid much less than that when i purchased mine just over a year ago with two months mot and what was advertised as high mileage

Hi,
Would you be wanting to part with spares at all? I have a V90 exactly as yours (same colour etc) and am looking for a replacement catalytic converter for lower cost than I see in line! Let me know if you have one you want to sell. Derek Vivian
