There are plenty of aftermarket ones out there and on ebay, but I want to use the real deal. Please let me know what you have. Thanks.

I have one. What is a fair price to you? It might be Monday before I have a chance to respond.

Great, do you have all the hardware? What kind of shape is it in? Still on the car - what year and model? Do you have any photos? Any chance you have the wiring harness for it too?

As far as price goes, typically used parts bring about half what new one do. This new one (see link) is $210 plus $22 shipping to me.

It is currently installed on a 2001 XC70. The harness is there but I do not have the ball. It did not come with the car. However, I do have the Volvo plastic cover for the hole. It is in fine shape. Let me take a closer look this weekend to make sure that removing it will not be a major undertaking. $105+ shipping sounds fine to me. I will be in touch.

Did you have a look? I'm guessing if it's still on the car, you'll have to remove the bumper cover to get it off since that is required to install it. Might be a bigger pain than it's worth. Let me know.

Sorry for the delay. I do not spend much time on the web. I should have time this weekend to get into it. I want to remove it anyway seeing how it looks like it may be an easy way to shed some unneeded weight.

Piece of cake. I will pull it tmorrow. Judging from the hole for the safety chains, it looks like it has only been used once or twice.

Great, can you snap a few pictures of the rig before you start and as you disassemble/remove it? Since it is used, there won't be any installation instructions. I'm sure it will be easy, but a picture is worth a thousand words as they say. Let me know the dimensions and weight once it is off and I will get a shipping quote from FedEx and DHL (probably the cheapest). Do you have a paypal account - that may be the easiest way to take care of the financials. thanks!
