Default Volvo 940GL Saloon for sale

I am trying to cut down the fleet, consequently my '91 940 GL saloon is for sale (2.0)

Location: Rochdale, Manchester

5 months MOT (February 2010)
10 Months Road Tax (July 2010)
200k miles

Fantastic everyday car, she is a first time starter, reliable as anything and in good condition. Had quite a few jobs done on her to keep her in good order, I have used her constantly for the last four years with no major issues.

Slight dent in the boot lid area and a small crease on the nearside rear.

All work done by local independent Volvo mechanic whilst in my care, serviced every 6 months. The car also comes with a pretty reasonable history file, including the original owners service history.

The only downside I can think of is she may need a new scuttle panel in the future (bolt on/off job)

Replaced steering rack
New starter motor
Top end engine rebuild
Suspension work
New headlight wipers
Speedometer replaced in 2006

She is also fitted with a tow bar (never used by me)

I am open to offers, please PM me or e-mail me on oovebei@hotmail.co.uk

She really is a good car, totally reliable. I know she is a saloon and she certainly has to go within the next week or so.

I am trying to avoid putting her on e-bay or similar as I am looking for an enthusiast to take her on.

I am happy to negotiate on the price!

She looks nice and I would have been interested ... but I'm looking for an auto.

Seriously however, most people who want to purchase a 700/900 want the estate version, so yours being a GL saloon, however good, is not that desirable.

Perhaps you're being a tad optimistic on the price, that's all I can suggest.

I can see there's a lot of tax left and that works out to be worth about £170 so someone should be getting a good deal there.

I don't find the asking price perticularly excessive.
The cars not being sold as a 'rare gem', it's a good solid everyday runner.
Look through the autotrader or eBay and try and find something comparible, taxed and ready to drive for the same price.

Personaly I think saloons are the hidden gems of the big-Volvo world.
True they're not as desirable as wagons, but that means you do tend to get a lot of car for lesser money.
As seen here.

If I was going big-Volvo, I'd be looking for somthing like this without a doubt.
Unfortunatly I'm 300 all the way.

Good luck with the sale mate.
Looks like a nice honest car.
