Howdy folks.
I'm after something more economical than my old Volvo, so hoping someone might fancy a swap.
I value mine at around £700, so would be looking for a swap for one around that value, or ideally a cheaper one and some cash my way. Or I'm happy to just sell it for cash.
Copied from my sale ad:
Up for sale is my 1989 Volvo 740 GL.
I'm selling because I'm renovating a flat with all my free time, so I don't have the time to give it the love it should be getting.
111,000 miles
-Full Service History (until I bought it, then serviced twice by me)
-MOT until April 2018
-2.0 n/a 5 speed manual
-No welding ever done or needed
Good points:
-Daily driven, reliable as hell, only breakdown in the last 30k was the fuel pump relay which has been fixed (only common Volvo fault).
-Aside from a few marks, the paint work is in great condition.
-Custom made manifold-back full stainless exhaust system from Longlife worth £470.
-Shag-pile carpet headlining - a really good install, no flappy bits or anything.
-Good Brakes, good legal tyres, good clutch, plush suspension, smooth engine.
Bad points:
-Speedo back-lights don't work. They have worked before but flickered out, could be bulbs but probably a dodgy earth, not an MOT fail (indicators and all lights work, you just can't see the speedo at night).
-Fuel gauge works intermittently. It will never say there's fuel when there isn't, but often shows almost no fuel when there is.
-One clear section of the left rear light cluster has fallen out.
-A few age-related dings, worst being a cracked front headlamp and a dent in the bonnet.
-A bit wobbly over 70mph, I think the tracking needs doing.
-Rust spot on bottom of rear door, size of an apple, not structural, easy grind & repaint job.
