The markets awash with old bangers that just don't have a market , if you want to move one on then the only way is price accordingly and that means low ..problem is a lot of folk fail to grasp that fact and still ask daft money often thinking that just because a car is two decades old its suddenly a "classic" some old cars such as polos golfs etc will sell all day as there seen as desirable however the likes of these volvos are certainly not , sadly you can not even give them away Last edited by gudgeonpin; Mar 11th, 2014 at 09:53. |

I'm confused ...
Thank you, 'AcidicDavey', for drawing my attention to this advertisement.
I truly have no idea what is going on here and am somewhat embarrassed to say the least! The last time that I spoke to the late owner's daughter, she informed me that she had sold the car for the Breaker's offer - ie £140. I assume that someone is attempting to make 'a quick buck' as the expression goes, which is disappointing given the circumstances of it's disposal. What really does surprise me is that, at the time of viewing, it is listed at £510. Given the collective wisdom as to it's probable value as expessed at some length in this forum, that really does seem an awful lot of money. What do others think? With thanks and regards, John. |

Well John, whomever the car was sold to obviously had enough sense to realise the car was too good to be crushed.
It is just a case of the car being shown to a wider audience (ie eBay) where the value of something can be truly appreciated. Yes, on a whole 440s/460s have next to no value but an opportunity like this is obviously alluring to the eBay puntu, I highly expect the car to achieve near £800 but as far as we know the auction may be bidded up and will get relisted? Regardless, a good example of a dying breed is saved from the crusher, that has to be a good thing right?

Re-listed on Ebay
As those members who use Ebay will almost certainly be aware this car is once again listed thereon. I don't understand why as it was previously declared sold and now appears to have been re-listed by the same vendor, but at a much lower price (£450). Perhaps the original sale fell through but, if so, he doesn't mention it in the advertisement.
