Hi iCarl. I'm sorry but we can't compare s80 vs honda civic! It's like A8 vs golf! And the prices? Please... It's like new toyota for 13000 vs VW Phaeton V10 2004! the same price it's true but 100 years of technology different! I know there are cheaper volvos but I know what are the prices of parts if something goes wrong, I have this car for over 3 years now and I had s80 99 as well. If You will save 3000 it's very possible there is something wrong, You can't buy lights module or stc/abs module second hand for this car, You need to buy new in dealer and they have to install special driver which is capable with your chassis number, always it cost over 1200 for the part. I made this car for me so suspension, engine and rest is in more than perfect condition because I never though I will need to sell it. Show me even one volvo with brembo braking system in IE! only because people prefer A6 or 5 series just to look not to drive volvo owners need to reduce the prices but have a look on car tests! s80 won all tests vs 5 and A6 in this class and check these cars prices. the most expensive s80 now is 13500 and I think price around I ask is very good because I know what I sell. If You will have a chance to buy BMW 730 2004 for 7000 will You consider to take it? Me? Never! exhaust filter 3600 euro, new turbo 2600 and many others... that's saving for short step forward. That's all in my opinion of course... Regards

This is by far the craziest priced car I've ever seen on Adverts. Good luck with the sale!!
eoin27 asked a question 02/06/2011 4:15 pm (2 years ago):
Haha, I was expecting so see a new model S80 for this price! Seriously mate, even in the boom times, your price would be ridiculous. I'm not denying its a savage car and I'm sure its unique to you but that doesnt mean anything when it comes to selling time. I'd value that car at €6k private sale and that's being generous for a 2.0. Just because its better than a BMW or an Audi of the time doesn't mean you need need to value it at the price of a BMW or Audi.

Don't mean to ruin your thread but thats a joke.
eoin27 asked a question 02/06/2011 4:18 pm (2 years ago):
It is a lovely car btw.....the price is the only issue. Seriously though, good luck with the sale

9K for 04 S80?
pafro asked a question 15/01/2012 12:40 am (1 year ago):
To your comment above.

There are at least 4 Volvos in this country with an original Brembo brake system. (not just red painted calipers as you have)

All 2003+ V70 R and S60 R model have the proper Brembo brakes. See my ad
surfboy21 says 15/01/2012 1:49 am (1 year ago):
Hi Pafro. Thanks for your comment. I didn't say I have original fitted brembo braking system, I don't have callipers as well but I have what I described - brake pads and discs and these are brembo. I wrote the price is negotiable so I don't understand comment of roraneire. There are few much chepper examples on the market so feel free in picking one. I know what's condition on my one and how much I spent on it even in last 3 months. Pafro knows for sure what's the good care of volvo means :) It"s not a car for everybody, people who thinks for next 2 years not to spend any one euro for the car like this should drive something cheaper because this car need good hand and big wallet. Pafro glws on your one.
TychoCaine asked a question 11/02/2012 11:54 am (1 year ago):
The original owner must have been on drugs. Who spends €5k on options (nav, 17" alloys & winter pack) and doesn't get the leather interior that 95% of S80s have?
surfboy21 says 11/02/2012 4:30 pm (1 year ago):
The reason I bought this car is because I don't like leather. Previous owner didn't like it as well.

TheWaterMan asked a question 26/05/2012 12:43 pm (1 year ago):
9K is that correct?
surfboy21 says 28/05/2012 9:48 am (1 year ago):
Hi TheWaterMan. Car is in perfect condition. I didn't drive the car since last 3 months so I have no nct, motor tax. Before I had knee operation I replaced timing belt and water pump, purchased new tires. Need to replace ball joints because purchased best replacements and are gone after 1.5 months. With few more things that's over 4k I spent since december I won't let it go for 5k. Need renewal of NCT and motortax. All parts are original volvo parts and were replaced on time. Price is negotiable as I described.
TheWaterMan asked a question 28/05/2012 1:29 pm (1 year ago):
No NCT and your looking for €9000!
Tom 46254 asked a question 03/06/2012 1:37 am (1 year ago):
First of all let me say that your car is very very nice and you have obviously looked after it. I've a 03 S80 D5 brought in a few yrs ago from the UK (ex Virgin Atlantic fleet car). It's spotless inside and out with full Volvo UK & IRL service history. Comes with all the bells and whistles including full leather interier and TV/DVD player which drops down from the ceiling. Dispite what I think it's worth my insurance company will only insure it for the "current market value". Should the worse happen that's all I'm going to get for it and I know I'll never find the same car for that money. So good luck with the sale and again it's a very nice car.
surfboy21 says 05/06/2012 10:25 am (1 year ago):
Hi Tom. Thanks a lot. Irish drivers simply don't understand what's the good care of the car means. Previous s80 saved my live because was in great condition. But that cost me a lot. I saw many drivers in new bmw x5, x6 and in more expensive cars with total bold tires and no brake discs at all! The proper taking car of our cars is for our safety and others on the road.

Hi TheWaterMan. What I meant to say was, I will pay for motor tax and do the nct. I don't know why drivers here complain about the cars value?!?
In IE cars are twice or sometimes three times cheaper than in other countries and IE drivers earn 4 times more than other drivers in UE so what's the reason to complain? Car insurance is nearly twice cheaper here as well, who told Irish drivers all cars should cost nothing? why u think u can take top quality car the same price as few years old nissan micra?
I had a friend he said he will take volvo s80 T6 ( 2.9 twin turbo 272 bhp ) but he decide to go for the cheapest machine ( 03 I think ) and after 2 months all was gone in the car, only both turbos were worth fortune so now to drive it he need to spend few thousands. Who will save at the end of the day? You need to pay for the good condition car! if u have 4k just for punto and don't pretend u can afford good quality, luxury car - so simply is that. And please don't tell me u can take A6 or 5 series for the same price. there are 2 s80 of 2004 now on carzone over 50 of A6. Read the tests, s80 won with all of them and it's bigger, more safety and not so faulty. I want to go for VW Phaeton now, I won't gonna re-sell it for sure. No one knows this car here but is it the reason to put a pressure on the seller? If I don't like the color - I'm not taking it, if the price doesn't suit me - I'm not taking. Why u won't take merc CL500 from unknown source for half price? because u know it can cost u 3 times more at the end of the day. Just to give u another sample, each electricity modul cost over 1400 euro, u can't use second hand. It need to be send to volvo factory to install drivers capable with the one in your car, otherwise it won't work. What if u safe on the price and u will have to replace beam light modul and abs modul after a month? that's 3k plus service charge of fitting it in. Don't u think saving on the car from high shelf might destroy financial side of using it?
regards / Matt
TheWaterMan asked a question 05/06/2012 10:57 am (1 year ago):
@surfboy21: With NCT and a full years road tax the car is still not near the price you ask. Maybe if you take a look at similar cars for sale you will soon realise the reason you can't sell it. Maybe Irish drivers understand the true price of cars.
surfboy21 says 05/06/2012 11:08 am (1 year ago):
@TheWaterMan:
When I pay for MT and spent 4k already, plus need to buy new 18" volvo alloys and brand new good rain grip tires how do u think how much should I ask in your opinion?
surfboy21 says 05/06/2012 11:09 am (1 year ago):
@TheWaterMan:
Just to confirm, 4k from december...
TychoCaine asked a question 05/06/2012 5:39 pm (1 year ago):
Surfboy, I'm sure the car is priceless to you, and €9k *might* be considered a fair price if it was maintained with no expense spared. *However* why should we take your word for it? You could be a chancer looking for the one gullible fool who'll take the word of a stranger.

I know these cars are worth more abroad, and the S80 is a vastly undervalued car, superior to many of the "mainstream" brands. That's why I bought *two*. But you are looking to sell the car in Ireland to people who don't know or trust you. 6 months ago I bought a 03 S80 with a full main dealer history and 18 months left on the NCT in January for €2,300. There are 2 2004 S80 diesels for sale on Done Deal today and they're for sale @ €2,800 & €3,800. In what way is your car worth 3 times as much as someone else's? For €9,000 I can get a 2008 new-shape S80 from a dealer with a warranty.
surfboy21 says 11/06/2012 11:17 pm (1 year ago):
Hi TychoCaine.
You are kind a right. At these days I might be this kind of person and trying to find a fool but, everything is so easy to check. The car like like I have has so many moduls and so many sensors that one visit in proper garage with the right service computer and even small issue will pop out.
I'm not saying someone has to take it, I'm saying it might be good idea to think about if someone wants to but this type of car in fair, good condition.
I don't have pressure to sale it, just it might be handier for me now to have the car with automatic transmission. I can't drive after knee operation. regards

Surfboy21...you make me laugh!!!
looks like in the end.....your 2 L PETROL,soon 9 YEARS OLD car,will never sell for your price...your cash invested in the car.?
Gonskyyyyyy!!


surfboy21 says 15/07/2012 6:11 pm (11 months ago):
@Negustor:
Do you wanna know what is making me laugh?
People like you who want to buy a car for max 2k and still asking for motor tax, nct and full service history.
If you r looking solid car in great condition don't even look at this shelf.
And I you think it's a cheap car and you can afford to buy one like this for 2 or 3k that's good for you, take it. take all of them and start to cry if something goes wrong with it.
Link me another car like this in prestine technician condition with all volvo original parts mounted.
Negustor asked a question 15/07/2012 6:57 pm (11 months ago):
Hei... I met 100s of people like you trying.... and sometimes !!!....succed in they r deals...regarding cars...
IT IS NOT YOU....IS THE BUYER!!!!
You follow!...
And I think I spare enough time on your ad!!!
Good luck!!! TA TA .....
eoin27 placed offer 16/07/2012 11:10 am (11 months ago):
€900 OFFERED
Offer to meet your asking price of €900 with no current NCT. Im sure you meant €900 as they range from €900-€2000 for this age. It couldnt be €9000 as that would be crazy!
surfboy21 says 16/07/2012 11:41 am (11 months ago):
@eoin27:
why u need a car if u r not coming out from ur room buddy? I can give u a lift somewhere for what u offered but I won't gonna sell it :) side mirrors ad the handle but not the all car :)
TychoCaine asked a question 16/07/2012 12:30 pm (11 months ago):
:-O I didn't even spot that the TAX & NCT were both out! So the seller expects us to take his word that the car is in tip top condition, but he won't spend the €55 on an NCT so we have proof from a 3rd party.
eoin27 asked a question 16/07/2012 12:36 pm (11 months ago):
TychoCaine, How dare you pathetic Irish fool question the sellers supreme knowlege of his own car. He spend €'000's of euros on upgrading parts for this car. Now he is simply transferring all the costs involved to the customer. Plus another €5k because the car has an aura of godliness that you mere mortal couldnt even begin to comprehend. Irish buyers dont understand that this car is worth at least €6k more than its OMSP and some pathetic NCT!

Ok, Im going to stop watching this ad now cos its really getting annoying. Seriously dude, put the price down to 3 grand and you MIGHT get a buyer in the next month or so. Over and Out.
ronaneire asked a question 16/07/2012 12:39 pm (11 months ago):
Is this still on the market? I think I may post it over in Boards.ie in to the "And the winner of dreamer of the year is..." thread :D
surfboy21 says 16/07/2012 12:42 pm (11 months ago):
Are you interested or u just have to much time to waste it by spoiling this add?
what's your problem?
I said I don't have it because I've been abroad for making very complicated knee operation in Germany. There is no need to pay for it if I can't drive at the minute.
I can pay motor tax and insurance today and I'm able to make nct in next coming date but why should I do it now???
As I said and advise you to read with understanding and not guess that the price is negotiable. As I said there is no problem to go for the garage, pay 50 euro for computer check if someone wish to. But if you think I will let it go for nothing I'm advising to go and try to find idiot who will sell you great condition car for nothing. I't the cheapest place in europe to find a car and still buyer here wants to pay half of that. wish you luck in choosing your cars but as I see you better go for nissan micra, cheap insurance, cheap motor tax and cheap pleasure of driving with it but in the price you r looking for. Good luck
surfboy21 says 16/07/2012 1:06 pm (11 months ago):
you know what?
don't need to sell it for a bread bites.
it's simply rule, if u can't afford it just don't look at it.
but don't fuckin' tell me I'm trying to cheat on you because only you want to do it by trying to take it for free.
Offer withdrawn.
