Evening All..As a newcomer to the forum, if I am breaking Rules by posting this, Admin, please feel frre to delete, i dont want to tread on any toes on my first day..
Could someone please give me some advice on what price I could expect for an 'N' Reg Volvo 960 Estate ? There is no Tax and No M OT , tho the car is sound and road worthy.. It belongs to a friend of mine who is, unfortuanelt Unfit to drive and has asked me to sell it for him..As I dont know the first thing about Volvos(pardon me) I could use any advice that is going..

Thanking you all in advance,

Virtually impossible to guess.With no MOT or tax it's probably only scrap value or what you can get for parts.

Thank you for your reply...Yes, I understand how it woiuld be hard to guess from my message, I was just wondering if there is a sort of bottom price.. I have seen 230 pounds quoted on Scrap Dealers Sites, but as the Car is in very good nick , didnt know if that would be an acceptable price..

Impossible to say...but the 960 is a well liked car...a bit thirsty of course...but it may be worth putting in the appropriate sales section on this forum and see if you get any interest.
As much detail as you can give...and a some pics ALWAYS help.

Do like RUTV70 said pics are key to getting interest. If you can take it for mot that could double the price.

Well, thanks again to all.. I will try to find the Sales forum (I am new to this game) ..As for the MOT , I dont really want to get bogged down with it as I would have to keep OK'ing with the owner and I really havent got the time..I will post everything I can tho..Thanks again for the advice.

Yep, it's a shame as a car of this age is really only worth its weight in scrap without MOT, which is maybe £200-250.

Assuming it's in good cosmetic condition, average mileage and has some history, with a fresh MOT and some tax it would probably sell fairly quick around the £1000 mark. An immaculate one with low miles/owners and a full history can go for upwards of £2k, and a slightly down-at-heel but MOTed car will go for £500ish.

EDIT: You didn't mention if it's an auto or manual, but manuals command slightly higher prices than autos due to rarity.

Go to webuyanycar.com and fill in the details. This will give you a ball park figure.

It really would be worth getting an mot on it and giving it 6 month's tax.

Without them it's worth is ??.

With them,alot more.

Good luck.
