Hi all - posting this ad for Julie. Please contact her directly if you are interested (details below). This looks to be a fairly rare car and doesn’t appear to be shagged out from the pics. No pics of damage noted on LH side…could be a bargain? I have not seen the car nor do I personally know the seller. If car becomes unavailable/sold, please let me know so I can mark it as sold.

We are selling my mother’s much-loved V70R AWD as she is no longer medically fit to drive it. My father, who worked for Volvo Construction Equipment for many years, purchased it in 2000 on the recommendation of his Volvo Car colleagues. As I understand it, production of this special edition high-performance (1st gen) model was limited so it is a rare car.
The car has some scratches/marks on the back corners and passenger side so it’s not pristine but otherwise in good condition. It has low mileage (83,350km) and has been serviced annually since purchase. A new fuel pump was installed by Doncaster Volvo in 2020.
Regarding the warning light in the front: my parents didn’t drive much on the freeway so the engine rarely got hot enough to burn off the particles that accumulated on the catalytic converter. It doesn’t materially affect the performance of the car, however, it does mean that the warning light is constantly on and, it seems, cannot be permanently deactivated.
