Car is in good condition overall and has been pretty well maintained inside, outside, and mechanically. It lost compression in cylinder 2. The others are at 185psi.
Looking for a someone who can take this car and use it. Price is negotiable and low.

I hope noone thinks Im out of place for saying it and that it doesnt sound too harsh, but seriously this is the worst sale ad Ive ever seen.
However a better way to to say it would be: Please provide details, location, price, and pics so fellow Matthewvites can understand better.
Im sure abscate is much better at not sounding harsh. He might even throw a joke your way.

I think the forum glitched while OP was trying to post - the other ad is fine.
..and its not the worst ad, by a large margin

Hey there!
Would love to know more about your V70. I am in Portland and recently my beloved V70 got clocked by a semi. She only has 95,000 on her original, new tires, just serviced to 120,000 with new timing belt etc. I just bought her back from the insurance company and now contemplating the future. Her body got smashed pretty bad so I might be looking at transplanting all her good parts to a donor vehicle, or just keeping her with warts and all... just depends on what I can find within the remaining budget.
Saw your post and thought I would inquire what condition yours is in and what you might be asking for it.
Thanks!

Keep in mind it's an XC as well, so you get the bonus of having a shelf full of hard to source spares for the awd stuff.
Whole engine swaps aren't hateful, you just have to deal with the extra bits for the rear drive.
If this works out, consider dropping the subframe and transferring the whole drivetrain, transmission and all. (This presumes you have the room to juggle two complete cars.)
Hope this all works out.
