Sigh.
Up for sale is my 2006 V70R. I purchased this car back in 2020. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and drive this car anywhere. It has no codes with the exception of the CEM/ECU mismatch because of the manual trans programming.
I do have a brand new OEM unpainted bumper, brand new grille in the box, the original 17" pegs that came on the car and a new set of spare shift cables that I will throw in if I get asking price.

Mods
Naturally the auto to manual conversion is the biggest mod, I did nothing that was not reversible, I will even include the original TF-80SC trans and stock ECU if wanted. No wires were cut when installing, so in theory you could go back to the auto if you really wanted. I even cloned the stock ECU to preserve the original car. The donor I used was an S60 with the same number of miles.
I added navigation to this car, the only thing that is missing that I haven't been able to find is a steering wheel control pad. It still functions perfectly with the remote. It's running the last navigation update available from 2014.
The other thing that I retrofitted was BLIS, I purchased 2007 folding mirrors and added the BLIS modules.
It currently has a T5 sport wheel installed, but the original steering wheel is available if that's what you prefer.
I currently have the CEM pin so if you wanted to roll back the navigation or BLIS changes from the CEM that is completely possible and cheap to do with D5T5.
This car did not come with a subwoofer or subwoofer prep, I did purchase the wiring harness and added the subwoofer connection. It currently has a rockville ghost installed that I will be moving to another car.
It does not have stock fogs, I replaced them with Hella Micro DE lights
Issues
Naturally the seats are worn and it has the typical bolster tear that most have, I have treated it twice with leatherique and it's due for another.
I purchased brand new lemforder strut bearings and they have started groaning after only a few thousand miles. I have the replacements and may have time to install.
Typical dings and scratches on a car of this age
The center console cover is messed up, someone tried to change the cover and broke it internally. I haven't been able to source a new one yet.
You can see the process of the build on here.

My Electric Silver V70R Thread
I've had many Volvos over the years, I currently own a 09 V8 XC90 and a 07 V70NA that I use as a company car. I have owned 2 R's in the past, a Titanium S60R, and a Black Sapphire V70R. Both were nice but they were pre-facelift cars. I got them both in a bad state of repair, fixed them up, and...
