Folks
A 2005 V70R has just started to appear in adverts.
Advise that you carry out proper HPI check(s) and you/mechanic check it over thoroughly.
Not my place to deride anyone but would not like to find one of the forum members end up with a vehicle that I know has an interesting past.
To be fair to seller - I will not be getting into a debate or making any further comment on this matter.
Simply do not want a forum member being caught out.

Give details of what/where it is and WHY you know there is something dodgy............... or are you just causing bother for the seller because you might have a personal grievance with them ???

Thanked 102,999 Times in 1,826 PostsTo be honest, when buying any car with anything more then highly disposable cash you should do a HPi and mechanical check.

Thanked 102,999 Times in 1,826 PostsNo, it ultimately serves as a reminder that when buying a car you should have it checked......whether its off a complete stranger off the side of a road or a large dealership network or household name.
