Does anyone want a top grandad waft wagon?
R reg Volvo S70 2.5L auto. Cream leather, heated seats, cruise control, sunroof, removable tow bar and oem roof rack. Fold out booster seat in rear centre arm rest. Both keys, remote central locking. Ace metallic turquoise. Tons of body roll in the corners. Does an unbelievable 36mpg on a flat run.
103XXX miles. New alternator, distributor cap, tyres in the last 18ish months. I even tracked down the fiddly plastic clip that keeps the petrol flap closed that has been bothering me for literally years.
Mechanically happy, MOTed to Oct 2020, some play in a front ball joint (thanks local speed bumps!), only failed previous MOTs on tyre wear and wiper blades because I got lazy checking up on things when all it did was sit in the road and do the 2 miles to sainsbos and back every other week. Full dealer service history until 86k miles and then local friendly garage from then on.
Externally it’s been scraped along a few too many hedges on the narrow Devon lanes by my in-laws but cleans up ok. Small dent in the roof where I dropped a bike on it. Clear coat beginning to peel on the SICK spoiler.
We’ve loved it in our five years of ownership/gentle neglect but due to pseudo practical estate purchase it’s now surplus to requirements and just sitting in the road looking sad. Not sure what to do with it. Not after much either, will do some market trawling tomorrow.
