Sold Volvo 960 3.0 24v auto

[DodgyBastard]

Anyone fancy a big Swedish barge?
It's a 3.0 24v Auto
Mot until May 2019
112k miles on the clock
Starts, stops and drives.

 

There's a bit clunk/knock coming from the front left suspension and there's a special technique required for starting it but other than that it's a decent enough old car. The engine is smooth, quiet and has loads of torque. The autobox works fine.

I have too many cars hanging around so will be selling this and the E30 and possibly something else in the near future.

Good god, that's a lot of car for the money! GLWS!

[BorniteIdentity]

Delicious.

I think that the 960 saloon will one day be one of the most sought after Volvos.

122 GT, 164, 960, 850R maybe the V8 S80 , that's it for great Volvos. The 960 was a revelation after the crude 740/60 in that it rode and handled almost as we'll as the e34, w124 and Senator, ie as good as sub Jag saloons got. The turbo was a bit downmarket although just as fast as the 24v ( maybe faster, it was a long time ago).

But given the choice of a £30,000 car in 1992 and I'd have chosen a 960 24v. These late ones are even plusher inside and for £500 this is the sale of the fucking century.

If I thought for a second I could get away with an extra car , I'd be on the Eazyjet website now.

As it is I can't so I'm just wasting every bodies time.

Bargain that, straight 6 too. Get it bought before it leaves the country.

[SierraMikeHotel]

That's a fuck ton of car for a tiny amount of money. It's utterly wrong for me and as far away as it could possibly be, but even so... Hrng.

 

Wowsers.

Mostly this for me too, nnngh

[DodgyBastard]

Shit, have I priced it too cheaply?

[RichL]

Lovely.

 

Green and Beige normally a no no but on a 960? Definitely.

[SierraMikeHotel]

In the wider world, possibly not... It's just an old car to most people. Saabs of the era are equally cheap right now.

[brownnova]

Ooof!!! I do fancy this but have no room at the inn...dammit!

 

I’m intrigued by the special starting procedure ????????

[Jim Bell]

Worth it just for the matching tartan blanket in the back. These have serious body shaking power.

 

Compared to things with less power of course.

[DodgyBastard]

I think this is pretty much sold, I'm part exchanging it for something much cooler!

[DoctorRetro]

To the general public, it's probably a £795 car, perhaps a bit less due to the faults. So yeah, cheap, but then we're all penniless losers aren't we

Another Volvo?

Not yet but working hard on it.

If I lived in Scotland (which I intend to one day) I would be definitely one of your best customers

Excellent, can I interest you in a 190e?

So much for reducing fleet numbers!

 

That 244 looks scrumptious, fingers crossed for a blue corduroy interior.

Yes, I'm sure this is exactly how to reduce numbers ha ha but the opportunity of owning a 244 can't really be missed!

£500 plus the 960 sounds good to me.

It just means I'll have to look at getting rid of other cars such as the e30, 190e, mazda 323 and probably the Sierra.

Speak for yourself. Having two Peugeots means I always have at least 40p at all times.

[loserone]

Yes, but they're stuck in fixed investments

[Lord Sterling]

Damn. I really wish I had £500...

Dare I ask how much?

[DodgyBastard]

£500 should cover it.

[Ohdearme]

Blimey and dare I ask about the E30...
