Bought this a few months ago just to get me by as an old hack really,now it need to go as no more room and got another couple more Volvos coming.

Good points
MOT until July next year
It runs

Bad points
Odometre stopped working at 149,000 but mots up until then see it gradually creeping up toward that figure and I've done a maximum of 1000 miles since I had it.
Service indicator on more than off
Lambda light much the same as above
Runs like an asthmatic donkey.
Alloys tatty
Stupid big bore exhaust on it

I did do a 240 mile trip in it last Thursday,so,it's runner.Doing another 100 Mile round trip tomoz in it.
I'm sure one of you can either fix it with I'm guessing a new fuel filter and air filter.
Or you can break it or whatever.

Anyone got an idea what they think I should be asking please?

In short it's got an mot,it drives and stops.But I say again it needs attention.
You can keep the private plate M7 GYN,it's no good to me,sell it on got to be worth £200 or so to someone called GYN or a dyslexic landlord.

Pm me with your email address for more pics and original advert off gumtree when I bought it,just took a screen shot on iPad so don't expect beautiful artwork haha

Located near Bristol.

Ok 49 views so far but no help.
I'll bang it on eBay then for £500.

I sold one of these at auction last year .An estate (more desirable ),in storming form power wise ,no warning lights ,and a full mot ,no advisories.It made £500 .Sorry but you are looking at £250 for spares .You could make more if you broke it up and sold it on the forum if you have got the space/time /trouble .

Veefor · Dec 15th, 2015, 22:22

Thanks for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it.
Gives me something to think about.

It`ll make you more dollar in parts, as mentioned above. Its all down to time and space though.

Veefor · Dec 16th, 2015, 06:02

Yeah that's right about getting a few more shillings if I could break it.Lack of time and space so will let it go and take the hit I suppose.

alas wrong time of year to sell a car, or sell anything that's not a Christmas present

Veefor · Dec 16th, 2015, 15:17

Yeah agreed,but on the flip side it's a good time to buy a car!
