I am selling my 2004 Volvo V70R – note the car currently runs on 4/5 cylinders (no compression on cylinder 3) and so should be treated as a project car. Currently it is unknown the exact cause of the lack of compression, likely a burnt valve. Outside of this car does drive if needed to move to another location. Asking for $2500 OBO. Feel free to send any and all offers above $1000. This car is perfect for a project car, part out car (the total value of parts would exceed $2500), or mechanic’s special. If you are a mechanic that is willing to work on the car, feel free to reach out as well!

The car is in a parking lot in Berkeley. Happy to arrange a meet-up there to see the car. Likely can drive it up to 75 miles, but I would suggest towing for trips longer than that. Car has trouble starting but smooths out at higher speeds.
