Default 940 DIESEL manual estate for sale

My everyday car for the last 6+ years. It does have faults, so I am going to call it spares or repairs. its not a minter.
GOOD
MOT until feb 21
always been totally reliable.
always starts.
5 speed m90 'box.
half a tank of diesel.
full stainless exhaust, loud and growly.
plenty of tread on all tyres.
volvo green books come with it.

NOT so good

cosmetically challenged. extensive laquer peel to roof and bonnet.
a/c, cruise and sunroof not working.
interior is tired, wear to drivers seat leather.
fuel and temp gauge work when they feel like it. I fill it up every 300 miles.
advisories on last MOT mentioned rust to one inner sill and worn inner track rods.
diesel leak from one injector pipe
smokes on cold start, suspect rear glowplugs need doing.
occasionally the clutch sticks.
usual vacuum pump clatter.

Yes, its old and tired but I thought I'd offer it here first to see if someone can make use of it, shame to scrap it as its a good engine and box and by no means beyond saving, it needs a bit of time and money spending.
I'd like £500 and looking for a quick sale. I will post some pics on request. it can be driven away, just be aware of the clutch problem, pumping the pedal brings it back.

in Newport, south wales.

Looks a good car for the money. Rare to find a diesel with quite a high spec like that one too - hope someone saves it
