2001 V70 2.4T automatic, $1500, Salem, MA

Post by prwood »

I'm looking to sell my 2001 V70 2.4T. If you're in the P2 sub-forum, you've probably seen me post about it plenty over the past 9 years. Lately, it has failed the Massachusetts state inspection due to excessive steering play, and it would need a new steering rack in order to pass. I'm not interested in doing the job myself, nor in paying someone else to do it, and I'm also not interested in further maintenance and upkeep on this car even if it were to be fixed.

I'm looking to sell within the next few days as I need to get into a new car asap. I know it's short notice, and I already have some offers to buy it for scrap lined up if nobody here is interested. Just thought I'd give it a try here first in case anyone wanted to jump on it.

The vehicle is perfectly drive-able and the steering play isn't that noticeable, so if you live in a state without strict inspections, it might work just fine for you.

Issues:
- left side of steering rack has excessive play, needs to have steering rack replaced
- left CV axle has torn boot, clunks when starting/stopping, needs to be replaced
- front leather seats are very ripped up and duct taped together
- will need new tires soon
- electrical gremlins that lead to occasional misfires and engine system service required messages

The photo is from a few years ago, but it pretty much looks the same. Let me know if there are any other questions.
