1999 Volvo V70 manual in Rhode Island $350

Post by ortho stice »

Hey all, I've been reading this site for years but have never posted. I've been trying to get my old V70 off my mom's property and was told I'd have better luck here than tbricks or clist, hopefully someone can use this! Contact me at jaywiggin (at) gmail (dot) com or give me a call at 9o8-328-I998.

From the clist ad:
1999 V70 base model with the manual 5-speed transmission, 255k miles. Needs a radiator, battery, and a starter relay (the Volvo J relay) to be driven around. Radiator has a big crack in the plastic end tank and leaks all the coolant out pretty much immediately. Relay is fried and I don't have another on hand. I've been jumping the relay to start it. Battery can be jumped but it's toast pretty much and won't hold a charge. Flex pipe is cracked and exhaust is loud. Exterior is rough with flaking clearcoat, dings, scratches, etc... Interior is pretty worn and the headliner is sagging.

In the last two years has had:
-New Koni Orange suspension
-New control arms and strut bushings (Meyle HD)
-New endlinks (Meyle HD)
-PCV system replaced (IPD kit)
-Timing belt and water pump (pretty sure I used a Conti belt and Bosch wp)
-New Kumho Ecsta tires (currently have maybe 8-10k miles on them)
-New heater core (whatever one IPD sells)
-Brake rotors and pads replaced
Basically it could be put back on the road without too much trouble but I live out in Pittsburgh and do not want to drag this thing all the way back there. Nor do I want to part it out in her driveway! Has a clean NJ title if you want to register and drive it. By the way, I have it listed for $500 on clist, $350 is the least I'll accept, so no offers thank you. $350 cash and it's all yours. Car is right off 77 in Little Compton, RI close to Fall River, Tiverton, and New Bedford.

And of course, pics:

Thanks so much for looking!

Any chance this car is still available?
I am not an expert mechanic, but I will attempt any repair. Worst case scenario is I screw it up worse than it was.

87 745 Turbo Intercooler...333k, all original!
96 850 Turbo wagon "totalled - parting out"
94 850 Turbo wagon waiting for tranny
2 94 855's gone
They're all gone now....
