Default Volvo 940 Estate, SE Turbo 2.3 HPT, B230FT, 98143 low miles.

Volvo 940/945 Estate, SE Turbo 2.3 HPT (165 BHP) B230FT, Auto, 1995 (M.Reg).
Genuine Low Mileage of just 98143 miles. Extensive service history, 12 Volvo Dealer stamps, all old Mot's.
El. Windows x4, El. Mirrors, 5x Alloy Wheels with 4 matching tyres, Tow Bar (rarely used!). Roof Rails. 4 Mud Guards.
Recent Coil, Dist Cap/Rotor, Battery, Induction Clean. Replaced Fuel Pump and Fuel Pump Relay.
Colour is Onyx Green (Turquoise) with Cloth interior. Also has the superior Parcel Shelf/Roller blind/Load cover.

Car is in my name and address, with full Log Book, 2 keys, Volvo Book Pack/Volvo Service Book.
1 years Mot, Taxed and Insured, so test drives are welcome.
Never smoked in, with no Dogs/Pets either.
This is not a "Show Car", it is a daily drive, so don't turn up expecting my Volvo to be in concours/pristine condition!
Although its certainly far far better than your average 22 year old Wagon!

Since my Volvo is 22 years old, it does have the odd blemish, most notably 2 patches of lacquer peel on the Bonnet
(size of a clenched fist) and a patch on the roof (size of an open hand) several smaller lacquer peel marks also on the roof.
Small dent (thumb nail size) to the rear window surround trim. A crease/dent to rear door seal, above rear jacking point.
All tops of door cards are wrinkled (a common fault). Fuel gauge is not working.

There is a hesitation between 1500-2000 RPM (most likely an electrical fault of sorts?) but the car still drives great,
pulls like a train, benefiting from the HPT B230FT engine, although the engine has been "Babied" most of its life!

Ive been as honest as i can, with the known faults listed above, therefore my Volvo is priced keenly at just £995.

No silly "low ball" offers please...look around, you will struggle to find a 1995 HPT 945 Estate, with less than 100 000 miles,
Volvo service history, all old Mots...at this sort of price.

Phone me on 07936 027216.
I live in Kent, Im approx 22 miles from the Dartford Tunnel.

Some photos, cheers Paul.

PS. Pics were taken last weekend, and the car was "bone dry" at the time (not dripping wet, for better/enhanced effect/appearance!).

Shame the registration numbers are for the wrong model! (740 not 940) :-)

There is something about freshly vacuumed carpet, that always makes a car look soo much better. Or, or is it just me?

Yes, nice plate, for a 740 ...Years ago, Im pretty sure one of my 240 estates, had a 240 plate that went with it.

Yeah, i would agree, it doesnt take too much effort with a quick hoover.

But i hadnt hoovered the car for at least a couple of months! I had planned to, but the wife had the bloody hoover in the back of her car on the weekend! when i took the pics.
I did have something heavyish in the back, and since i dragged it across the carpet, it gave the impression i had set about the area with a hoover.












Anyway, my 940 is now sold, and making its way "Up North"
Cheers Paul.
