I'll go through my list of Volvos which I currently have and discuss what they cost me, in relation to what they're probably worth now:
360 GLE - £650 in 2019
340 - £Free in 2017 (but now needing a lot of work)
850 T-5 - £500 in 2014
850 T-5 - £350 in 2018
850 TDI - £300 part ex in 2018
440 GLT 2.0i - £100 in 2015 (but now needing work)
460 CD 2.0i - £Free in 2016 (but now needing work)
460 CD 2.0i Auto - £160 in 2018 (but needing an auto box)
440 TD - £Free in 2020
440 1.6i - £200 in 2021
V40 2.0 Sport Lux - £150 in 2019
I doubt the 400 series will be worth much, but they will be rare. My two T-5s I'm dead set on keeping as I can see these going for a fair bit in years to come. I do think the T-5Rs will be Sierra Cosworth money in a good few years.
It's all subjective though, as I doubt I'd sell mine. Volvos just get under your skin!
I was looking at Skoda Rapids last week in fact, would love a convertible. Have never seen one in the flesh never mind driven one though.

With respect to the 340 in your list (And I mean respect) is it likely to run? Or would you be able to flog me some bits to keep ours chuntering on?
