For sale; Volvo 940 2.3LPT 7 seater estate

[Delta66]

Volvo 940 2.3 LPT estate. Maroon. First registered Sept 1995. I am the 4th owner. Bought off this forum from the third owner.

For sale at £2750.

It is a very well kept car that, as you can see from the photos its looks great. It runs fine and when the turbo kicks in can surprise many modern cars with its turn of speed. It gets a lot of admiration and has been a joy to own. Son passing his driving test and getting a car forces sale due to space.

It is the 7 seat version, with the fold down seats in the boot. It has an original radio/cassette player, electric front windows, heated front seats, front and rear fog lights, headlight wipers, boot cover and plastic liner and it is hard wired for a Nextbase dash camera (the camera is not included in the sale). The tyres are all Michelin Cross Climate with plenty of tread left. I get 24-25 mpg in general running.

There is a service history going back to when the car was first bought, which shows regular servicing (20 in total) except for a gap from 2010 to 2014 (also no MOT for 2014). The cambelt was changed in 2015. The car was sold by its 2nd long term owner to a Volvo forum member in 2015, who started a maintenance and replacement programme which I have continued since buying the car in January 2016.

General maintenance and replacement has kept the car in very good condition. The door cards had wrinkled and have been replaced with others from different cars and are in good to immaculate condition. A headlight was broken with a stone and has been replaced. Other replacements include a door hinge stay, a rear door lock, a headlight wiper motor, the mass airflow sensor and HT leads. The sale will include a fault code reader for the car.

Known issues now are;
-Driver’s seat adjustable lumbar support does not work
- A warning light flashes when the rear wiper or heated screen is switched on (the wiper and heated screen do work, though the heated screen takes ages to clear)
- There was a leak into the driver’s footwell after some very heavy snow. The carpet under the front mat was neatly cut to dry it out (photo below). The carpet could be replaced.

The paint work, bumpers and some of the alloys have minor marks, or a bit of patina commensurate with the car’s age and originality. The spare wheel alloy is in very good condition. The previous owner fitted reversing sensors in the back bumper. They rarely worked, so they have been removed and the bumper repaired, the wiring is still in place.

The car has been kept as original and in as good a condition as possible. It is in occasional use and so the mileage will increase from that advertised.

I should have added that it presently has 73,266 miles on the clock.



which will increase as the car is in weekly use.

I am very close to Glasgow Airport and can collect anyone travelling to Glasgow by plane or train into the city centre.
