Tetleysmooth Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well, I've had this V40 since late December, and it's turned out to be a great little motor, BUT, it's not a V70 or 850.I'm missing my old V70 which I sold to robinmasters (I'll have that back if you're done with it), so I've decided it's time for another one. It's gotta be cheap and automatic though. I can go down the usual ebay/mongtree route, but the cheapies are normally gone before I can get to them. so maybe word of mouth on here will be better. Anyone got anything, or know someone who's got a V70/850 languishing in a lock up somewhere?Please pm me if you do. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetleysmooth Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 How cheap is Cheap? There might be one near me, but he's asking over a grand... I sold my one for £350, so that's what I'm expecting to pay for my next one.Needless to say, I'm not expecting a minter....... Thanks for the reply.

Richard Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm looking for one too, I want a diesel and would pay up to about a grand for a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmasters Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 ...I'm missing my old V70 which I sold to robinmasters (I'll have that back if you're done with it)...That'll be a while yet-I've just done the cambelt/water pump, which I plan on getting my money's worth out of!

Stanky Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I was having a browse earlier, have you seen this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-S80-SE-170-BHP-AUTO-LOVELY-CLEAN-CAR-HPI-CLEAR-/361214685419?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 Its a volvo, and currently (as at 20:00 on 18 Feb in the year of our lord 2015) at £370 of your finest pound coins. Its not a v70 though. But it is a auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It'll go for way more than that, four figures easy. That's a local Volvo specialist to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 After Austrian shite correspondent Lukas's horror stories about failures to proceed and untraceable electrical faults on his S80, I'd AVOID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Greed.I offered a geezer £350 for a V70 with several issues.Slippy autobox when cold, suspension work needed, brakes needing work.He said he had so much interest, he was going to let it run.It went for £245.That's much better than my offer, isn't it. Prepare thyselves for a forthcoming ad for my V40.Shouldn't sell it really, nice car, but the pull of the V70 is just too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetleysmooth Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 hmmm, moar info on the v40? I might be tempted...October '99, V reg 2.0 litre auto.Silver with heated grey leatherMOT until late October.New exhaust from the cat back.Starts first time, every time.Tilt/slide sunroof.Really, really good on fuel.Cruise sadly not working, it lights up on the dash, but doesn't engage. Will have a quick butchers tomorrow. Might just be a vacuum pipe come adrift.Excellent heater.Excellent tyres, but a not matching set.Pictures tomorrow hopefully, it looks like it's just about to start peeing down here.
