thinking of selling my 142

markymar93 · Jul 20th, 2014, 23:10

Reluctantly I am thinking of selling my 142, which has only just been renovated with a repaint, mechanical overhaul and a new MOT. I am only thinking of selling at the moment as I am having building work done on my house, but thought I would see if anyone is interested. The car is a 1968 RHD with 1 previous owner on V5. The car is in very good condition with only some minor little bits needed. I have no idea of price for the car as there isn't much to benchmark on, however, after seeing some of the prices recently for a good 144, I would think it must be worth a bit more based on rarity.
Please message if interested.
thanks mark

I would say benchmark against sold prices not for sale prices - sorry that is trite

There's a chap in London trying to sell a bog-standard 144 - it was suggested it was worth about 1800 quid. he didn't agree so is selling for £3500 - he's now dropped it to £3000

Hi
Thanks for the advice. I will have a think about it, but they are significantly rarer than a 144 especially as this is a rhd and it has been restored. I will see what interest I get.

thanks

maybe if you add up what you paid for car and how much you have spent and then look at prices what they are actually selling for then post your price . it was just a thought

Im interested in an older car, got any pictures ? and a price ?

Sadly due to space I am now looking to sell my 142. It is in lovely condition and this is a reluctant sale. I'm looking for 5500 for her. I really want her to go to a volvo enthusiast and hope someone may want her. I will post pics later with a description of all the work I have had done.
Thanks mark
