Seller notes:

Used : An item that has been previously used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

“In good overall condition, has a scrape to rear passenger side corner, see pics, odd scratch commensurate with age, leather interior in good condition aside from driver's seat is torn along seam. Aircon is not cold, not tried regas yet. Service light is on, not sure when last one was yet, will enquire, drives very well, engine, clutch/gearbox, steering, brakes all good. All electrics work so far as I can tell, very straight car with dealer service stamps in book until 19/4/16 at 135k, recent alternator and battery this year. There is a couple of cargo net/load covers which do not seem to have anything to attach to, I need to look in the handbook and find out if something is missing, I've never seen anything like them before! Has two keys, but only one blipper. There is a little stone chip in the passenger side of the windscreen, not an MOT failure I believe.”

vehicle description:

Here we have for sale a lovely tough Volvo V70 estate in silver, 2.5 litre petrol with manual gearbox, 2001 year in good overall condition with plenty of service history.
This belongs to a friend of my friend, who is an engineer who works in Indonesia most of the time, and who has a house in the far South of France, with family in Leeds. he purchased it earlier this year to travel to his french place a couple of times, carrying whatever it is he needed to (I have no clue, but the load bed is very big indeed with the seats down,and he may have towed a trailer as I know he has one).
Anyway, he is back in Indonesia, and has tasked my friend to sell it for him, which he is really not all that interested in, as he is not very computer savvy, nor has he got the time having relocated his classic Mini restoration business over the last few months, so it has fallen to me to do it - as a bonus I get to drive it around while I sell it, so it"s a win-win for all concerned :)
If you"re looking at this advert, you probably already know how great these estates really are, and what they can do, so I won"t spend too long going thru the list of features as we"d be here all day! Suffice to say she is in good condition for the year overall, and drives very well, with good service history. I need to check with my friend when it was last serviced by him and update this listing.
I don"t know if they all have these, but there is a dog/load guard which pivots down from the roof, and a couple of cargo nets which seem unusual - I have never had a Volvo this new, so was really pleasantly surprised they have gotten better at the little touches that make them special, and the build quality is superb all round, everything feels like it will last forever, especially compared to my Rover 75 estate which in itself has nearly gone round the clock twice - of the two, I would have the Volvo on all counts except looks maybe - aside from the fact it is a manual and my wife only drives auto"s, and really I prefer them myself too!
The driver"s seat is ripped on the seams in a couple of place, I would think an easy repair for a professional, but what stands out is how comfy it is - with the working heated seats it is such a pleasure to be in the cockpit of this beastie, I have a bad back and I really appreciate the ergonomics, the adjustability etc, it"s possibly the best I have come across, and I love my big old luxury barges so that is saying something - but don"t just take my word for it, use the googles for reviews :)
I only have the green slip in the friend"s name and address, the V5 may well be present, I need to check and update, but please be assured by my feedback this is a genuine car - I may well send off for the V5 if needed.
By all accounts these are great towcars, I haven"t tried it, but if I still have it by the end of next month I will be using it to pull my caravan to a festival, I fully expect it to be a breeze :)
I can"t really think of much else to relate, she"s a good one, please come and have test drive and kick the tyres, look over the paperwork, I"m in North Leeds LS6 postcode.
Many thanks for reading this listing,
Cheers Jim
