Bullsh1t listing of the year award...
As per title, the person listing this car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/740-GL-estate-...Automobiles_UK on the 'Bay is deffo a contender.
A couple of choice selections: "Being an import has different, better engine and running gear etc than the uk 740's so can make finding parts in scappies difficult...." "Built to last these 740's not like the cars destined for uk market. These cars have been seen to do over million miles on first engine, so this ones got 162k on clock, so plenty of life left in the old girl." Please, go and view the listing, it is a work of art...

Oh that one's priceless:
"body work hasn’t any rust that can see......Is no rust on her apart from a small bit at the base of one wheel arch, which was welded for a previous mot" "Good sevice history with volvo dealer for upto just over 111,000 miles, timing belt done back then by volvo dealer" So at best (and ignoring the time element) it's 1000 miles away from a belt change. "Very clean interior, dash etc looks new, few tiny bits of wear seats hardly any wear at all, but small burn hole in drivers seat" The 940 I just sold was a diplomatic sale, wish I'd known the extra value Brilliant work that person tbh it made me giggle so hope it goes well. |

Oh dear, I'm just in the process of buying a UK spec 960 estate..... If only I'd realised I was making such a big mistake!
One thing does confuse me though, it's posted on UK Ebay..... When it should have been posted on CloudCuckooLand Ebay. Regards Eddy |

On the plus side, unlike some recently, at least it's cheap.

O.M.G how silly of me owning not one but two 745's as UK spec (what I have missed out on), oh how I wish I had known all this before buying. That running gear sounds so much better. (and the fact that Haynes even went to the trouble of writing a manual for it too.)
Im really interested in that ebay car. To quote a well known TV personality "WHAT A LOAD OF ****" lol Even worse is the fact that its a Scottish listing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgh
