WTD: 740 estate, 940 estate, 960 estate or V90

yoda960 · Sep 24th, 2012, 19:36

Hi chaps, i'm after one of the below cars with LPG or if it doesn't have LPG then a very comprehensive service history and very good condition (so I could then consider getting an LPG kit fitted to it).

I've not had much luck with buying another car recently. I bought a V90 with low miles and LPG one but had to take it back, first signs of HG failure. I bought a 940 sport and the bloke tried to trick me by flushing the coolant out and filling with clean water, it turned brown after I took it for a spin - obvious HG failure. Was on my way to see a local S90 on LPG and got a call to say they had just taken a deposit on it!

I've been eying up other cars too but i''ve decided to hang fire and go for one of the following estates:

740 Turbo
940 (must be a turbo, not bothered if its LPT or HPT)
960
V90

If anyone has anything that might suit, or spots one, then please do send me a PM

Many thanks in advance

If you were happy with an auto 940 you could have my one? It is a sport but wont have the sport bits on it.... I have done loads to it but can't be bothered to try and make it worth lots of money, the other auto was painful to sell even though it did make £1400. I have been driving it for 6 months without any issues

Thanks Therapyboy, i'd already seen it but it doesn't fit my spec of very good condition, good luck with the sale anyway

Volvoz2000, thanks for the offer, is it LPG? If not then i'm not really interested unless its an exceptional example?

Thanks for that Thanatos, yes i'd seen it. Looks nice, i've asked the seller some questions but he hasn't got back to me yet

well it is about as good as it is going to get...... I have repainted half the car and put in many, many hours to bring it up to scratch.. no lpg. And I am going to let it go cheap as I have too much other stuff to do and don't have the time to detail it and get a set of galaxies refurbed etc......
