I am searching for a very particular vehicle, and I am hoping that someone here will know someone that has this vehicle for sale!

I am looking for:
2006 or 2007 Volvo V70R (must be an R)
Manual transmission
Exterior: Silver or Gray (equal preference)
Interior: Atacama (tan/orange) or Nordkap (black/blue), preference for Atacama
Under 60,000 miles, but really want super low miles…I’ll pay a substantial premium for ultra low miles
Ideally no modifications, no dents, great condition

Please let me know if you know of one floating around out there!
Thanks

You will be searching forever.
First, they may have made 2-4 Silver/Atacama wagons each year, out of those probably half were automatics.
Now you want a 7-8 year old car with UNDER 60K miles too, right...

You can forget 2007s they made so few manuals (maybe 100 tops) I think I've seen maybe 3 in the past 6 years used for sale and none were silver.
I know of one 2007 Silver/Atacama and it happens to be a manual. (Not for sale. It recently was with about 14,000 miles but was sold and I believe went to Canada).
2006 is just a little bit better (maybe 175 to 200 manuals)
I just bought that same car, Silver/Nordkap in March. Had 82K miles.
Needed everything, Angle Gear, collar gear, radiator, suspension, shocks, and much more, we spent about 7 grand making it right (mechanically, we rebuilt literally everything)!!! and now the owner swapped to an Atacama interior, a used interior that had very little miles (15K) and now is nearly as new. Won't be any more like that one.
That was another $2500 plus of course all the labor

Yes, I had a feeling this was going to be one that we would end up spending a good amount of time searching for.
We found one, but the guy ended up deciding not to sell. I am keeping my fingers crossed that one pops up eventually. I figured the more placed that I spread the word, the better the chances that one surfaces

If you want the above mentioned Silver/(now) Atacama V70R he said he will sell it for 20K. He sells his cars after he does everything to them, he gets bored easily.
(He has approx $23K in it now and is 110% perfect with all new everything)
If interested contact me
This is the R when I bought it in March, before any work was done and the interior swapped. It is VERY nice.
