Volvo XC90 Ocean Race. 185hp D5 diesel. Rare manual 6-speed. Noisy rear diff.

This is a lovely example of a rare limited edition Volvo Ocean Race XC90 with the superb 185hp D5 diesel engine for reliability/torque/economy.
Bad points: Noisy rear diff, crack in front o/s bumper protector (not the colour-coded bit), few small parking dings.
Good points: drives beautifully, economical, rare manual 6-speed, full perfect black leather interior, satnav, premium sound, 6-cd changer, cruise control, rear parking sensors, xenon headlights, towbar, headlamp washers, auto dipping mirror, auto wipers, heated electric drivers seat, 18" alloys, grooved/drilled/vented disc upgrade, large disc brake option, in-built phone, volvo sos/oncall system, wood trim, good tyres allround.
Done 174,000 miles, but mainly motorway mileage and, by the look of it, well looked after (you can tell by the interior and general condition of this car that it's been well maintained over the years). Cambelt etc changed at last service (166,000) and previous service at maindealer at 149,000. DVLA history confirms mileage, but no service history prior to 149,000.
Asking price is cheap, reflecting the mileage and noisy diff (secondhand diffs seem to be from £250 to £600). This is a rare version of the popular XC90 and, with the even rarer manual gearbox and the factory-fitted optional extras, makes it highly desirable and great value.
