1995 440 Si CVT - Warwickshire \ Wirral - £325
This is posted on behalf of a friend of mine who doesn't have a VOC login.
PM me if interested and I'll pass your details on. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9659334...7637183497834/ Here is my recently acquired Volvo 440 Si FOUR SALE! A swift bit of history - it was owned by a chap since 1996. The chap passed away in 2003, and it was then owned by his son, who did limited mileage until now. He had the car serviced at Volvo and MOT'd every year. It's a 1.8 8v with the CVT 'transmatic'. Not having much history with automatics, but it's 'smoother' than automatics with no noticable increase in rev range, and no upchanges. I'd say it was nothing like the CVT in your Mini/Metro/DAF. The good: It is a lovely browny metallicy colour. It has MOT until the month of June 2014. It will come with 6 months tax. I've spent £100 on parts for it. It has four keys and two working alarm/central locking fobs It has just had the cambelt changed - all fluids/filters are very recent. The car is quite solid, rear arches are free of rust, all the seams are OK. I've put a new crank sensor on it. It's had new tyres on the front with a few hundred miles on them. It's just had a new Volvo battery in the past few months. There are a few recent receipts from the past year from Volvo amounting to nearly one grand. [ops:] The bad: The interior is in nice condition - the driver's seat is stuck on the runners. I had to remove it 'the hard way', and I have a new set of runners before sale. There is a leak from the boot area - I believe I have cured this (by sealing up the rear lights and the aerial), but the carpet is a bit damp. I've begun the process of drying it out, and it should be dry by the time someone buys it. It was owned by a Christian couple. There is a fish sticker on the boot, and numerous Christian paraphernalia inside the car. This is a bonus if you are a fan of God (I've not been to church for years, but I don't mind him tbh). The ugly: The car is currently untaxed, but will tax when bought or when I need it (so in effect, it'll be like the countdown clock but with tax running out) [] The front wing has rust around the rim - I didn't notice this until I turned the jet wash onto it, and it took paint off. It's spread two inches in. You could clean it up easily. The chappy broke the key off in the ignition - he got a new barrel (from Volvo), so that's why there are four keys (one for doors/boot/petrol cap) and one for ignition. Alarm fob negates the use of using key in the doors. The thermostat is open, so the heater sits just above 'L' (which stands for LOW). I have a new thermostat and will install at the weekend, (MPG is suffering because of it) Price is in title, includes car with consideration for tax, parts, and cleaning up.

It says at the top of the advert.
Warwickshire during the week (Coventry) and the Wirral during weekends. I didn't hide it or anything. Reading is fun.
