I will post pictures and a sale price once I know what may be needed and will be for sale when finished.
Nice wagon, leather, moonroof, cold package etc, not a base wagon.
Silver/Tan leather, 2004 with slightly over 100K miles

Nice, drivers seat doesn't show much wear
The steering looks interesting, is it original? On my 2003 the buttons are different and it's black leather instead of tan (same tan interior)

They changed color combos almost every year. This one seems to be light tan, not Oak

My steering wheel is tan with black airbags and column.
I would prefer all tan or all black not 2 tone.

Very nice!

The interior looks almost exactly like my 05'.

Very nice! Same options as mine, and your interior is miles nicer than mine. My seams are tearing and the leather is showing cracks/discoloration, even at 80k miles it wasn't nearly as nice as yours. FYI, the slave cylinders in these things are known to fail prematurely. Mine went at 85k miles, and it requires a complete clutch job.

Apparently this has had a new clutch within the past 3K miles.
I appreciate you giving ME an FYI.

JRL, you are not the Volvo King. Or maybe you are... either way, the problem is few know, and none care.

We're all just guys with something in common on an Internet forum.

I've been cutting you slack for a couple years, since your last ban. You're on notice.

Let's hope whoever did it knew well enough to replace the cylinder; it isn't oft-discussed in the state-side based forums, if at all. I had to find out that it's a failure liability by searching the u.k. forums where standards are more common. Anyway, best of luck with it. It's a clean looking car.
