What’s it worth? 98 R 940 Celebration
My father has decided to sell his 940, owned by him for 7 years, and before that by my Aunt since brand new
Bodywork wise it’s good no rust, no welding ever It’s covered 163k, is totally standard 2.3 Turbo manual, and in the last 10k has had a clutch and the head gasket done Depending on its value, it’ll come with 12months MOT What sort of value does this have? MODs, feel free to move this thread if not in the right place, I had a look as to where to put it it but couldn’t see anywhere! Thanks |

Pictures will aid your quest for a value. Being a manual will certainly be beneficial to your sale.

When you do come to sell it, rather than asking about the value, this would be the place :
https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=176 Some more details would be helpful, LPT or HPT, colour, any extras such as 7 seat conversion, cloth or leather and colour of trim and so on. Pictures as pointed out will definitely be helpful and just for the record, some people prefer automatics so the fact it's manual might encourage the drifting fraternity to buy it. Hopefully not if it's in as good condition as you suggest!

Good afternoon, 'Faxo',
As 'psl' rightly points out, it is notoriously difficult to 'value' any car without more detailed information and, ideally, photographs. I would say say your car could be worth anything from £500 upwards, depending on condition, specification, MOT status, etc. You may care to read an article in last week's 'Classic Car Weekly covering the 940 and 960 ranges from 1990 to 1998. I quote below the values stated in this article for your guidance: Concours £3000 - 5000 Excellent £1650 - 2750 Useable £900 - 1650 Project £300 - 900 I will leave you to decide where your car sits within the range! Kind regards, John.

Wow I would say they are all on the high side, I think the most I have seen a mint one that has actually sold to be around the £3000 mark, maybe someone will know different? There have been lots of nice usable ones for £500-900 recently, and some very nice ones for £900-1700, once they fall out of that bracket they take a while to sell if at all. Just my opinion, it’s what someone is willing to pay at the end of the day and how long you want to spend answering questions and showing people the car.
There are some real chancers around with high prices at the moment, I looked at a £3000+ car just by chance at the weekend, as I passed it for sale, it was a state! No water in the coolent bottle, scratches all over, the rubber seal for the boot lid at the bottom was ripped to shreads where stuff had been dragged in and out. There are some advertised at £5000, but they have been there for months. So I think the only way you are going to know is think what you want, advertise it and see what interest you get. Quote:

There will always be the chancers that put a ridiculously high price on a car that has problems as someone, somewhere is usually mug enough to look past those faults and buy it anyway. Sadly that actually drives the price down for the rest of us, people always want bargains so they nit-pick to hell and back again to get the price down.

I deliberately refrained from commenting on the figures, but do agree that they seem to be on the high side.
Nonetheless, the strapline to the piece read 'It'll never be this cheap again! Buy a Volvo 900 before prices rise.'. Regards. John.

Yes I agree they are only going up! I bought several 240s that I still have, most of them for £250 - £400 10 years ago, the £250 is a mint 244dl 1980 done 40000miles. Probably £3000-£4000 now! I bought one for £52 on eBay!
