1999 V70 SE Auto 2.4 20v 201k miles- Time to go

[Gatvol]

Hello. I am not a regular on the forum.

I first drove this in 2000 as it was a pool car at my office. I bought it from the company in 2012.

MOT to September 2024. Daily driver doing 7k miles a year.

Airbag light is on. Engine management light is on. Needs a new exhaust. Selection of first gear and reverse can he clunky when the car is warm, but not when cold - been like this 10 years.

It has had a lot of maintenance over the years as it has been part of my life for so long.

I don't want hassle. The easiest thing is to drive into a scrapyard and dump it.

AC works, ABS is OK, heated seats, leather seats, elec sunroof works, front and rear window wipers work, original alloys with centres, retractable load cover works.

It is using less than 5l of oil between annual services.

Is there a better future for the car ? Is there an enthusiast who could use it to keep other V70s alive /wants the engine out of it ?

Any advice gratefully received.


Thank you
