1998 Volvo V70 2.5 Torslanda 10v 5dr Petrol Estate
Description
We bought this classic estate in 2008 for £1,995. It is a very good example of this 1998 estate and in very good condition. We have found it to be a brilliant car: solid, safe, & spacious. It is quiet and powerful and pulls well. Really comfortable on long journeys, with a quality interior. A fantastic workhorse. We've always been able to get everything in it we've needed for camping trips, moving house, art projects, etc. We are selling because we now have a van. £650 ONO.
