Talking 1985 volvo 740gl 2.3auto red saloon

Hello, Due to work problems i have desided its not longer viable for me to run a car & i would also like to take my HGV and have no money to do so! So i have to sell!

Okay,
What we have here is a 1985 Red Volvo saloon (pre cat) its the 2.3AUTOMATIC none turbo.


Body work.

Bad
Dent on front passenger door
Bad paint job on passenger side rear quater
Odd bits of surface rust around the archs
Odd scraps on the front bumer

Good

Drivers side / front / back of the car is pretty much 100% no scratchs or dents to speak of
Interior is good other then the drivers seat witch is showing some ware
Resently repainted steel wheels in silver.

Engine
I have very recently done a minor service where leads/plugs/fuel filter where changed.
New rear brake calipers & pads on both sides at a sum of £367.17!
Only issu i have with the engine at current is it stalls at low rpm and i beleave this could be coursed by some perished breather hoses.


Stuff.

The car is currently on standerd 14" Steels tho i do have 15" Virgos for an extra £40.
If you perfer the standerd grill i can swap over, car has Turbo grill at present (Witch i paid £40 for!)


MOT Expiry is August 4th 2010
TAX Expiry is Febuary


I am the 2nd owner and the car has done less then 75,000miles.
Car currently based in Hastings.

Please give me some offers to give me a value.

Thanks, Jamie.

Standerd Grill.


With Eggcrate


Inside.




Virgos


EDIT: If i cant get a price i would consider right i will brake, witch i would realy not want to see, but i need the money!!
Thanks.

Tenpastnine, don't want to be the bearer of bad news but a friend of mine from London passed his HGV earlier this year and he's only had two days agency work since, crap work delivering parcels and crap money :-(

Good luck, it's always hard to sell a saloon volvo, especially as we're coming up to xmas.

I guess that the people that would buy one ( ie us lot here ) would be buying for cash and that's no doubt all been allocated by Mrs Volvo Owner for pressies etc

Coming with a bid wad of MOT left and 4 most RFL to run it sounds like it could be a bargain for someone.

I would have been interested myself but the worn seat and the
lack of e/wins to the front would put me off.

Just a thought; perhaps your starting bid is too high - £300 - £400 is the kind of price that's out there for later 740 or early 940's - it might put people off from making offers?

She does look nice though.
