to sell or break????
 
I have an M reg 940 se 2,4 manual, diesel estate that no longer fits my needs and I am going to sell it somehow. My question to the collective is would I be better to sell it as a runner (mot dec) or break it? I guess I am asking here as you guys and gals know more about the market than me.

I've been looking around and reckon it's is worth about 700. I guess I'm asking folks is the extra I'd get from breaking it worth the hassle and if there was a market for the bits?

It still has 5 months MoT and if it's in reasonable condition, get a few photos and put it on ebay. ;) :D

I spoke with a guy breaking a 940 about a year ago... he normally broke Jags and BMWs, he reckoned he wouldn't do another Volvo as people just don't buy that many bits for them...

Well I've decided not to break but to sell. Thanks for your replies chaps

Good man. That's another one kept alive on the roads.

I got almost £1000 for a written off 940 in parts, got more than the insurance payout for its pre-crash condition.

I got £840 from the insurance and £1000 for the parts. I got requests for a lot of the bits, but that was over quite a few months, which a professional probably wouldn't want to wait.
