Description from the seller, in Finnish.

1.8 litra koneella ja lisää valolla pois pihasta. Elämäntilan muutoksen takia ei tarvitse kun yhden auton eli pihan tyhjennys. Katsastettu meidän toimesta 1.7.26 puhtain paperein, sen jälkeen mittariin tullut muutama tuhat kilometri. Hienosti lähtenyt käyntiin ja ajettu pitempääkin matkaa ongelmitta. Takapenkille mahtuu kaksi lasten penkkiä ja jopa keskelle istumaan. Kytkin mielestään vähän outo? Tai Volvon ominaisuus kun kytkintemontti tehty 281421 kohdalla eli 22tkm sitten. Huollettu säännöllisesti tarpeen mukaan. Viimeiseksi levyt ja palat taakse 300611 tuhannen kohdalla eli 3tkm sitten. Tästä huoletonta ajoa melkein vuodeksi.
