Default Rare Classic 1993 Volvo 940 saloon

Up until this day (31 July 2018) has been my families one and only everyday car. In the 10years I have owned it we have been from Bristol area to Scotland three or four times and many more holidays and has been a reliable old faithful.

I am now retired and on limited income so when the news came that it had failed its MOT we despaired. (MOT valied until 27 August so still driveable)

Failed on exhaust emissions (CO only) and an oil leak from somewhere on the engine that has now become an MOT failure. Has dripped oil since first purchase but have never had to top up between annual services.

10 years of full service history from independent Volvo specialist with the same two mechanics throughout plus plenty of other earlier history.

Looking for a caring owner to continue TLC. Photos and further details available. £250 anyone?

I'm interested.

Where abouts are you? What engine? Does the car have a glass sunroof? Is the car taxed/insured to get home?

Thanks,

Joe.

What engine does it have?
Pictures would be good

Cheers

Hi Joe
To answer your questions
Engine is petrol 2litre naturally aspitated (is that the B200?) injection
The car does have a sunroof but not glass. I have frequently used the tilt for fresh air but have not opened the full sunroof for some time. It does not leak at all (as I have had with a previous model!) and wanted to make sure it stayed that way.

The car is currently insured but only for my wife and myself. The car is currently taxed but under the new regulations that too only applies to me.

I am located in Worle, Somerset not far from junction 21 of M5. Did I see you are in Durham? I would happily drive it too you (for a positive sale) but then it would cost me to get home as we don't have a second car.

If still interested I can send more details/photos when I've put them together. I can be contacted irect on alanlflower@hotmail.com

cheers

Alf

Right,

Apologies Alf, I've just chatted with the wife during my lunch break and she's made it very clear that if I bring any more cars home my dinner will be in the dog for the next ten years.

She's made her feelings abundantly clear, I'm afraid I'm not allowed another Volvo and as such I'm out. Have a free thread bump and good luck with the sale. I can't see this hanging around for long at that price.

Thanks

Joe.
