DodgyBastard Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Anyone fancy a big Swedish barge?It's a 3.0 24v AutoMot until May 2019112k miles on the clockStarts, 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.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 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.

SierraMikeHotel Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Shit, have I priced it too cheaply?In the wider world, possibly not... It's just an old car to most people. Saabs of the era are equally cheap right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 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. barefoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Shit, have I priced it too cheaply? To the general public, it's probably a £795 car, perhaps a bit less due to the faults.

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.
