940 M reg turbo estate for sale, purple

Southampton

We have a purple 940 M reg turbo estate which has been lovingly maintained, was my father's, and sadly he died a few years ago, but I have been running it and keeping it in the family for sentimental reasons. Mileage is 200-250k ish, I think, I would need to check, but many 940s do a lot more than that I am told

The head gasket just blew the day before its scheduled MOT, and it isnt something I can justify the cost of repairing for sentimental reasons, plus its one car too many for me really

I would love someone to buy it who will do it up and love it. It has been running well, and it its body work is in good condition as quite a few panels were repainted at the cost of someone else when they scraped down the side - it was cosmetic damage but annoying, and it looks lovely now it has been repaired

I had the car recovered to the garage I was due to have it MOT'd, and it is there off road at the moment. For someone who doesnt want to do the repairs themselves but pay a garage to do it, this represents an opportunity, but I guess many here would want to do it themselves.

It has 4 good wheels and tyres so it will be easy to tow somewhere else for someone who wishes

my email address is tree dot cuddler@gmail.com or my mobile is 07803 282726

The car is fun to drive and I will miss it!

Dont miss out, get in touch!

Purple sounds like an unusual colour.

940 owner · May 31st, 2018, 10:30

I've had an enquiry about buying it from an administrator by pm but I can't reply till I have sent 30 messages lol

So I will give some of the service history to get to 30
