Default FS: V70 T5 SE Auto, Nav+TV, LPG 105k miles £3995

Hi Everyone

I'm selling my V70 T5 SE due to a change to a range rover.

Metallic Blue, Oak Leather Interior.

Car has done 105k miles and I've owned since 67k miles.

Has almost everything volvo could have fitted including;

Factory Satnav+TV+Phone (inc 2008 maps)
Heated Seats
Cruise Control
Climate Control
Electric rear child locks
Integrated child and baby seats in rear
Fold-down dog guard
Headlamp wipers+washers
Dolby Pro-logic stereo
Leather
Rear Parking Sensors (genuine volvo)
Electric Tilt/Slide Sunroof
Removable tow-bar + single electrics(fitted for me, only used 3 times!)

etc, etc.

I have had this car professionally converted to run on LPG (at a cost of £2200) at 78k miles.

The car averages approx 23mpg when running to work and back and 31mpg when on a long run. That's the petrol figures, and when using LPG it nearly halves that.

I regularly go and see my parents who live a 840 mile round trip (hence the miles) and using LPG I average 9p to 10p a mile. (these arn't made up figures - I assure you they are genuine!)

Huge service history file.

Since I have owned it there has been various serivce items replaced including;

Discs/Pads all round
Cambelt+Tensioner (next due at 160k)
Pollen Filter (just done)
Spark Plugs (when LPG fitted)
Air Filter (just done)
Radiator
Throttle Body Replaced @ 90k (ETM, for people who know volvos, very common fault)
Alternator
Air-con professionally re-gased.


Has obviously been serviced in line with scheudules using fully synthetic oil etc.

Great performance, tidy condition, fantastic economy, Pre-2001 road tax (means £185/yr, not CO rated). No interior trim rattles (my pet hate).

Plenty of life left in it yet, runs perfectly. Starts every time as you would expect. No smoke, no turbo whine. This isn't a car thats been thrashed.

Bad points - rear spoiler needs a quick respray as paint fading (local bodyshop said £70 cash), alloys not in A1 condition but all tyres have plently of life left. Slight mark on bonnet but touched in.

Has been a brilliant car to me, really sorry to see it go but wanted four wheel drive.

PS - Sorry about the poor photos - very hard to leather a car when it's raining all the time, and the interior photo doesn't do it justice!

£3995.
