Welcome to the advert for my 1998 Volvo V70 2.5 TDI. This car has been a great workhorse for me over the past few months, but I'm selling it for something smaller and more economical.
The car has the old VAG 2.5TDI unit used by VW/Audi for years in many cars and vans, tough as old boots and will go on forever. Indeed when Trump gets happy with his trigger finger, I believe the only things left in the post apocalyptic wasteland will be 1998 Volvo V70 TDI's and cockroaches. Its unrefined, clattery and smokey. But it pulls very well thanks to a remapped ECU being in there taking it from 140bhp to 170bhp.
As you can see the car comes in a rather fetching shade of blue, with all the scuffs and scratches you'd expect on a car of this vintage. I see them as battle scars, and I'm pretty sure most women dig them.
Since we're on about appearance, the car is lowered on coilovers and has a set of T5 alloy wheels on. The ride is a bit "Scene" (See bouncy, and crashy) but not at all unbearable. And who cares when you look this good?
Anyway, the headlines for those who can't be bothered to read:
- 181,000ish miles which obviously will increase due to daily use.
- 12 months MOT
- Some service history and receipts
- Coilovers and T5 Wheels
- Remapped ECU
- Silky smooth Automatic gearbox
- Good tyres and brakes all round
- V5 etc all present.
Offers will be entertained, but nothing too daft. I can do viewings most evenings, either Near Bicester (Oxfordshire).

UPDATE 28/05/17
Since putting the car up for sale, I've been made aware of a small leak coming from under the car. Upon investigating this evening, it appears the gearbox is weeping its fluid very slowly. Due to the car being surplus to requirements (The replacement is now arrived and in use) I've dropped the price further in the interests of selling soon, and I will listen to offers. The car has no insurance so is technically off the road for now.
