'99 V70R Silver, 180k, runs & drives. MA/NH border

Post by volare »

Letting the Falcon go to someone who can appreciate her and keep her flying. $2200 Best offer takes.
I can't physically do the work she needs anymore, otherwise I'd keep her.
Runs great, drives great. Highway speed is amazing.

Date of manufacture 10/98, Sweden
No known crashes/accidents (checked Carfax when I bought her in '16)
Needs e-brake done to pass MA inspection.
Airbag light is on.
Interior trim is worn/cracked here and there, driver's door panel is loose.
Seats have age marks/splits. Controls work fine.
No mods.
All R-specific features intact. (Grille was swapped out by PO.)
Currently FWD; have rear shaft & bolts to return to AWD.
Replaced exhaust system
Replaced front rotors & brakes
Replaced tires
Radio/CD player works great
(pro tip: if you want to burn CDs to play in this car, use the lowest (slowest) burn speed; this stereo can't read CDs burnt at higher speeds.)

Photo/video to come.

Sorry I never came by to run the scan for the airbag codes. I've told some local Volvo fans that the Falcon might be for sale but couldn't tempt them into it. I could only buy it after selling my rusty Benz E320, then buying/fixing/selling the 350k mile V70 Geronimo.

Listing it on Facebook Marketplace will surely get lots of people to message you. Few will follow through because Facebook Marketplace is super annoying like that, but it still might lead to a sale.

No worries, you're super busy! I don't have FB but maybe I can get the kid to list it there. Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Currently under snow but here's one from the day we acquired her:

She doesn't look much different now other than time passing. The window tinting film has to come off.
Presently has 2 flat tires and needs a battery.
I just had my right shoulder replaced and can't do anything about anything, very frustrating.
I'll dig around for some more recent.
