1997 940 2.3 turbo estate for sale

Dr Chaos · Oct 17th, 2015, 19:59

We have replaced the 940 estate with an 850 estate. Hence we are seeing if anyone would like to save it. Here goes turquoise 1997 N reg. estate 2.3 turbo. 280000k miles. Needs head gasket and turbo otherwise everything else ok. Spent £1000 on timing belt and exhaust and plugs, distributor etc. alloy wheels also. Some MOT left. Looking for £250 for spares or repair but would like it kept on road if possible as it was a great car. 01213314341 we are in Birmingham.

Mot til next May just checked it

Well it looks like the dismantlers Monday. They offered £150 which isn't bad. If anyone in the meantime can offer the same to keep it on the road (the mechanic reckons its too good to scrap) great.

Seems a great shame to scrap the old girl - I'd be interested in it, if nothing else it would be a good source of parts to keep mine going...

I would rather let a club member have it

Oh, so sorry Doc for offering your car a home when I'm clearly not good enough - I would have happily paid the £250 you were asking - I paid £300 for a non runner 3 years ago which has more than paid for itself since then. Enjoy your paltry £150, and well done you for sticking to your morals and scrapping it, rather than allowing it to keep other Volvo's on the road...

I too would have paid £250 to have kept it on the road, but like Volvanman, I'm not a club member either.

Suppose I better pay my subscription to entitle me to buy things on here?

Sorry Jerry. I think there has been a communications breakdown. I meant yes it would be good for a club member to have it and not the dismantlers!! You are a club member!! This often happens when sending scripted messages. I'm not to good at English hence why I stuck to math.

I thought everyone was a club member on the forum. I made a mistake. I prefer for a forum using person to have the car not the dismantlers.

Now sold to Zak. Who wants to fix it and keep it on road. Yeah
