I'd rather have more miles and more care than, less of each.

The nice polished finish on the steering wheel rim has worn away quickly in 34000 miles.

Well spotted, seems a little too good to be true, and then it never is.

Not good feedback level either - hope it's no-one here, doubt it.

This is the problem with the five digit odometer... Unless there is full documentation proving otherwise (i.e. every single MOT certificate etc), I always assume that any Volvo of this age has been round the clock at least once.

Carlsson 986 · Dec 15th, 2015, 19:46

I did send the vendor a question asking if he could verify the mileage by way of MOTs or service records, just out of interest, but to date no reply, of course.

It was recently sold at Brightwells hammer price £800

eBay has the auction description cut and pasted too which is a bit cheeky. A bit to go to get to the hammer price plus premium I'd guess.

Definitely not 34K, perhaps 134K? Even though it has been lying in a barn. Driver's seat well torn. Just doesn't seem to be such a low mileage car as suggested.

Good project for someone if it goes for a reasonable price though but yeah would be 134k considering it was used for 30 years going by the ebay ad.
