Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Siitä luottovolvo myyntiin auto toimittanut itellä kakkosauton virkaa pari vuotta. Tekniikka täysin toimiva ja viimesimpänä jakohihna vaihettu 3/26 sen jälkeen ei ole ajoa tullut kuin max 2tkm. Vikoja on sen verran että matkamittari lukema on pimentynyt ja tarkkoja kilometrejä ei tiedossa ajettu noin 440tkm. Toisena vikana mainittakoon volvon yleinen ongelma eli käsijarru pitäs kiristää leimalle muuta leimalle laitettavaa ei pitäisi olla. Ilmastointi ei toimi eikä ole tutkittu mikä vikana liekkö menis ihan täytöllä. Ulkokuori siisti ikäisekseen toki lommoja löytyy ja lakkavikaa pikkusen apukuskin takaovessa. Auto on pohjaltaan kova. Kerron autosta ja huolloista lisää puhelimessa taikka kasvotusten. Yhteyden otot viestillä kolmivuorotyön vuoksi ni soittelen sitten perään.
