MOT Sept 2016
Mileage 109120 (will rise with daily Driving)
Price - £550 (would consider P/x not sure what I want to be honest)
I bought this Volvo back in December as I wanted to have a bit of retro motoring in my life again whilst the Cortina was being worked on, the plan was to lower it and change the wheels and drive it as it was but with restoring the Cortina and renovating our house this has fallen by the wayside so I have decided to sell it on.
I use the car everyday and it always starts and drives very well for a car that is soon to turn 30, the engine works as it should although will vibrate when cold but is fine when the coldstart has turned off, the autobox is smooth and changes gears as it should with all bits working as it should.
With it being a GLE it does have all the toys such as Sunroof which opens and doesn't leak, Leather seats with heated seats for the front which get to temperature very quickly, a ski hatch that is excellent for picking up skirting board I found out!
Mechanically as I said the car is perfect, its been well looked after with a stamped service book going to 2010 including major services that were perfomred well before they were required.
It does however have some downsides; the front door card pockets are broken and need replacing, the drivers door card is torn but could be glued together I think, the headligning has sagged which is standard for any car that came straight out of Stockholm, the ariel is broken but does have a modern head unit with aux input - perfect for listening to Snoop Dogg which seems oddly appropraite for the volvonator! the bodywork also has scrapes and denst that come from carpark damage etc, the rear passengers side doortrim is missing
As I've said I'm after £550 but I'm open to offers either cash/ cars - just ask!
