Tetleysmooth Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm still looking for a V70/850 auto petrol.Don't mind it being a bit scruffy/short mot etc, as long as it's reliable and will get me to work and back with no dramas.It's gotta be cheap though.This coming Saturday would be good.Anything out there?Gimme a shout on the pm please.

skattrd Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 With the impending arrival of the turbo brick isn't Davidfowler of the SVM looking to shift his 960 auto? Similar to v70/850, only less fwd and bigger engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Knowing Davidfowlers cars, I reckon that'd be way above my price ceiling.Would rather like a 960 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetleysmooth Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Only got £350 Buying that knackered Previa put me on the floor.That's why I don't mind something scruffy/short test etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Opinions on the V40 2.0 auto would be very welcome at this point. Found something interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Opinions on the V40 2.0 auto would be very welcome at this point. Found something interesting. V40 and interesting?Mitsubishi Carisma in drag, not very interesting, but adequate motors. There's a gdi V40 I occasionally borrow from the garage, dull but competant, with an auto box, even duller I would imagine. Nowhere near the size or space of an 850.

Tetleysmooth Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yeah, thought so.I'm trying to prise a V70 out of a chap's hands as we speak.That would be my first choice, but it's only a 2.5 10 valve auto, so dog slow I would imagine.

Tetleysmooth Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well, the owner of the V40 sent me a raft of pics through.It's a 2.0 litre auto, and in my price range.It's got everything the V70 has, but in a smaller package.I'm quite impressed with it actually. That 940 looks quite nice, but I do like my estates. Shep Shepherd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I want those roof bars! It looks to me like he's purposely avoided showing the (probably faded) rear lights on that 850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Have you sold the Accord then? If so, good work! Having had experience of 740s and V40s, if an 850/V70 feels like the former personally I would hold out for one instead of going for the latter.
