940 Possible sale

lightyears · Oct 19th, 2017, 22:06

Hi, im putting out a few feelers as to whether anyone would be interested in my 940 turbo, i bought if off a member earlier this year with grand ideas to restore to a much higher condition, unfortunately my ambition has run out of time and money and i need a regular "normal" work car so the 940 has to go, below is croaky original sales post for the car, not much has changed at all, ive replaced the turbo, fixed some bits hear and there and boosted it up to 10PSI, the car is honest but has a few issue that still persist.

Good: MOT until late january next year
Soild and reliable, took me to gatwick airport last week
All the major jobs done
187K on the clock

Not so Good: Exhaust is pot holes liked nothing else, ive replaced the turbo to cat but the rest needs looking at, new cat thrown in with price
Has an intermittent idle problem, may need TPS set up correctly or idle control valve, either way it runs and has never let me down, just an irritant to me.
The paint is a but scruffy in places.

Im Looking for a £1000, im realistic however and may be tempted for a good offer. see the post below for most of the other details. I will post some updated photos shortly but its mostly the same bar some improvements.

Saturday evening bump. Photos will be up tomorrow

Decided £1000 is way to much. Quick sale by early next week £650 takes it.
