Up for sale is my 1989 Volvo 740 GL.
I'm selling because I'm renovating a flat with all my free time, so I don't have the time to give it the love it should be getting.

111,000 miles
-Full Service History (until I bought it, then serviced twice by me)
-MOT until (i think) May 2018
-2.0 n/a 5 speed manual
-No welding ever done or needed

Good points:
-Daily driven, reliable as hell, only breakdown in the last 30k was the fuel pump relay which has been fixed.
-Aside from a few marks, the paint work is in great condition.
-Custom made manifold-back full stainless exhaust system from Longlife worth £470.
-Shag-pile carpet headlining - a really good install, no flappy bits or anything.
-Good Brakes, good legal tyres, good clutch, plush suspension, smooth engine.

Bad points:
-Speedo back-lights don't work. They have worked before but flickered out, could be bulbs but probably a dodgy earth, not an MOT fail.
-Fuel gauge works intermittently. It will never say there's fuel when there isn't, but often shows almost no fuel when there is.
-One clear section of the left rear light cluster has fallen out.
-A few age-related dings, worst being a cracked front headlamp and a dent in the bonnet.
-A bit wobbly over 70mph, I think the tracking needs doing.
-Rust spot on bottom of rear door, size of an apple, not structural, easy grind & repaint job.

(plate not included)

£700

Would consider a swap for something cheap.

Bump.

I'm after a quick sale so I'd consider a few low-ball offers!

I can also throw in a free novelty horn.

Price drop!

550 takes it

Hi will you take 450?

I'd probably go to 500 without the aftermarket stereo?

Apologies for interfering but perhaps this is an offline discussion or by pm, you don't even know the guy's gonna buy it - has he seen it ?

Offers don't always lead to a purchase - unless the buyer is there with you with a handful of folding money.

Jon

N.B easily worth what you were originally asking.

I know what you mean, I don't really understand putting an offer on a car without seeing it, but I don't mind him/her and other people seeing where I stand on price, as I'm looking for a fairly quick sale.

Thanks

UPDATE

1) I had a fiddle and got the speedo lit up again. Only one bulb is working but I'm fairly certain the other bulbs just need replacing:

2) I swapped the full-size spare wheel onto the front left side and the 70mph wobble has gone. Must have been an unbalanced wheel. It now cruises like a train.

With this in mind, £550 is a very good price.

A very fair price indeed. What a lot of car for the money. Hope you get a quick sale.

A bargain! I wish I had seen this before I got mine.
