740 estate saleable?
Bearing in mind the high values put on Volvo 240 estates now, and the seemingly nil value of 740 estates, I'm just trying to judge if there will be any interest in my 2-owner 740 estate after Christmas.
I've owned this basic (no foglights and cloth interior) car for about 4 years but gave it to my son when I had health issues. He upgraded to a V70 estate last summer so gave me my car back (!). I barely use a car now, and since the July Volvo specialist work for new brakes and exhaust haven't even done 120 miles. It is legal until next spring, a bit grubby inside after litter-dropping grandchildren, an auto with 210k on the clock and full FSH before me. Faults: an area of paint scabbing on the lower nsf wing, but not holed, mirror glass broken (new supplied), nsr door handle broken by oldest grandchild - must have been cracked! Again, replacement supplied: radio aerial came off and the usual headlining coming away. The fuel gauge only seems to register when almost full, and the speedo must have a loose connection as it sometimes goes off at one pothole to come on again at the next.
It only really needs one thing - to be driven and enjoyed far more than I now can. I can't put photos on here, not that I have many, but as so recently worked on am only looking to recover the cost of that work - am I dreaming?
I will use it over the festive, after which don't need it any more as my son takes me out in the V70 when I can't get where I want using the good bus service at the end of my road.
Any interest on here before it goes on ebay?
