£2k? Hit in the front and back? I know it hasn't done many miles, but whatever is the world coming to?!

It's been on there about 3 months and they haven't changed the price. Obviously they believe it is worth that much.
This one started out at £1500 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-340-...item1c2a279ee4
and has been on there for a very long time, but don't forget it's "the only one in the UK?"
And there's this one which is also 2k and has been on there for months. However it looks immaculate and is in a very nice colour (never seen another one in this colour before).

The GLE is lovely. Not £2k lovely, but still lovely. A nice 360 in that colour...!

cheers

These are prices for top specced, desirable models in mint condition imo. I'd been eyeing up that blue 3 door for a while as I think it'd make a nice economical daily, but it's fairly pricey and only has the 4 speed box - work to be done!

The GLE is nice, but not that nice, not rare and very expensive!

I didn't realise it was a 4 speed, would that lower its value?

They're getting to the age now where you're almost buying the shell for its condition...the exact spec can be changed easily, but rust is hard to repair effectively. Swapping a 4 speed for a 5 speed is really not a biggie...so to the right buyer, no. For most people, though, the big money will go to high spec cars (340 GLE, 340 Redline/Blueline, 360 GLEi SE, 360 GLT) in good condition.

cheers
