However, if you want unrealistic i'm suprised no one has picked up on this:


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1979-VOLVO-244...item35ad9c5556

£8 grand - and reduced at that.....

lets look at it -

Well, it is in very good condition and has a show pedigree but it is the Auto model and early 244 Autos had a horrible rear axel ratio returning crazy revs at modest motorway speeds and terrible fuel economy. It's also a DL and has the square headlights and lacks the chrome wing mirrors.I may be wrong but I don't ever recall seeing 2 tone seats in a DL and the carpet colour looks odd as does the faux wood strip on the dash.

Yes, its a nice car but i had a nicer 244 Auto from 1978 which I sold last year for around £1000 having paid around £1000 for it - from a VOC member to another VOC member

Am I being discourteous to the vendor or dishonest - no I'm not - and if someone interested in buying it checks on here first and sees my comments, as an owner and buyer/seller of these vehicles then great! I've done him a favour!
