Thank you for that - curiouser and curiouser! Are you saying the motor car sold on Saturday morn - or that the advertisement started then? This one is odd - my view is that the seller is probably bluffing, jacking up the price himself and hoping someone will get carried away at the end and place a silly bid, but then who am I to say? I really can't think this car is worth £10,000. Alan PS. I wonder Dan, did the chap say anything about the 'deposit taken' notice he placed last Sunday morn? I'm guessing that part is just plain old deceit?

Just thought. What are the odds of someone being £10k interested in an old Volvo not being on relevant forum? |

I still doubt that the auction is being led by a genuine buyer, but perhaps the seller is reading this (and if so that would be fine of course). :-)

I'll watch this one until it ends on Tuesday - but I suspect we will see it advertised again next week - perhaps the highest bidder won't show up :-) Alan

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275014103517?hash=item40081e31dd:gW0AAOSw4Mdhg9e 5 ... 7 grand (but maybe the seller would take a near offer) which I'd say was at the top of the price range for any 240. It looks like a very nice motor car with good provenance. Alan PS. Sometimes I think about buying a late, very good condition 240 estate like this myself, but then I think about it and common sense rules it out. Nice as it might look, it would have no advantages whatsoever over my 2014 Skoda Superb elegance diesel estate: it would cost considerably more to run, has far more old fashioned engineering, is less practical... USW. The RB (1980 244, so tax and MoT exempt and cost a great deal less) fulfils my Volvo 240 fetish much better :-).

The mini is fine, £30 ved, 50 mpg but no roof rack, (of any worth), available, so the new baby fits the bill . Well that's what I told SWMBO!😇 |

It would be nice to hear and see a bit more of your new motor car Andrew.

Sold on here in July, by an ex- Volvo mechanic who had it 20 years. Only 4 previous keepers. Apart from some, now cured corrosion at the rears , normal suspects, it is very solid. PO had a 4 post ramp and wanted me to inspect it and be satisfied nothing was lurking. I fannied around, because of the auto but soon came to the conclusion it was plenty good enough for what I wanted. PO on here so will just say, nice chap! Tried to upload JPEG pics @ 2.6mb, won't have it! Last edited by Moomoo; Nov 5th, 2021 at 11:50. |

Get yourself a free account with https://postimages.org/ and click the blue button at the end of the "Hotlink for forums" link then right click in your post where you want the image then click paste followed by Enter/Return.
I normally put another Enter/Return after to give a blank line like a margin under the image to make life easier for reading. The good things about using a third-party image hosting site is you have a one-stop-shop for images where you can post the same pics on other sites without having to upload them to that other site, it cuts down on the storage needed by any given forum and you get to see full size pics in the posts without having to click on the images. A bit like that..............
