Volvo 760 Turbo Saloon Gold £400 E reg 126K miles

mrchaud · Jun 6th, 2009, 13:32

Taxed and tested until end of July.

I am selling my Gold saloon and am looking for good home for it.

I'm not technical so please bear with my description.

It has a wonderful black leather interior, original radio (fizzes but doesn't really get in tune), electric drivers seat and heated front seat, electric windows, electric roof and wing mirror demisters. It does have aircon- although the belt has been removed.

Has four speed automatic gear box and overdrive that kicks in at 55 mph (engine runs at just over 2000rpm at this speed).

2.3 litre turbo (intercooler)- so it can pull away if needs be.

It runs and drives fine - it does have a number of quirks and faults - like any car of the same age.

It smells "rich" apparently, (someone has remarked), and there is a smell of oil in the engine bay - but no leaks to speak of.

I pulls to the left - there has been work done to the steering rack - (it once failed it's MOT on this - but there are receipts to show it being rectified).

The front left tyre has wear - which may be due to the above or the wheels need to be - re-aligned.

When driven at 70 mph or over the car vibrates - which may be due to the above. This is my station car so I have used it on a dual carriage way twice and noticed this problem.

There are various bits of plastic in the interior which are broken or missing - around the handbrake, next to the sunshine roof and on the passenger side door. The roof lining at the rear has been stapled up.

There is a dent in the front bumper and scratches - small but visible up close.

There is a stack of paperwork with this car and has obviously been well loved/maintained.

If you want to see a couple of pictures do email me at:

This car maybe a project car for you or a reliable runaround.

Based in West Berkshire between Reading and Newbury

Not buying MR, just popped by to say what anice car, especially so as the price is low

Thanks - it's a lovely car to drive.

I have had a new tire put on the passenger front side and ATS did the tracking/balance on the car.

This has rectified the car pulling to the left and the shuddering at 70 mph. In fact it feels like a new car to drive!

In view of this expenditure - the price is still £400
