For sale, my well cared for daily driver. Located in Newcastle, NE30.
Selling as for budgetary reasons, I need a diesel.
Its a 4 door CD spec 1.9 T4 Turbo.
It has been driven sensibly, and well cared for.
Never been raced, hammered or abused. Never even had a cone filter/boost gauge etc fitted. It is now, as it came from the factory.
It has 75000 miles on the clock. (in dailly use, so rising.)
Full MOT. (needed only 2 brake pipes for this mot)
Has 8 months Road tax remaining.
Volvo quoted power at 200bhp from the factory.
Volvo quoted a 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds.
Volvo quoted a top speed of 150 mph.
I must say I have not had a go at proving any of the above!

New Top engine mount.
Too much more to list, but they are the major replacements.
"Bad" things of note.
Some small stone chips on bonnet.
Small area of laquer lift on rear spoiler top and ever smaller area on boot top.
Rear wheels are JUST starting to show a few bubbles in the silver paint (paint not broken).
Heated seats don't seem to work?
Bonnet release cable is a bit sticky.
Ive described the car accurately and honestly.
Any inspection welcome.
Can pick up buyer from Newcastle train or coach station if arranged in advance.
Any questions, just ask.
I think the car is worth £1000, but will entertain offers and sell to the highest.
I don't think you would find a standard, more honest and well cared for example for less.
Not everyones cup of tea I know, but thought it was worth listing here anyway.
Cheers all.
