Question In need of a Volvo 240 estate

Hello,

I don’t post much on the forums but am interested in looking for a Volvo 240 estate for sale, my requirements are petrol, manual and within the price bracket of £2/2,500 it’s not a lot of money I know but it’s all I have saved up which on minimum wage and a house has taken me ages lol.

If anyone knows of any for sale please let me know either on this or my email is remi97@live.co.uk

Kind regards,

Remi.

I couldn't help wondering whether this and these two:

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showp...91&postcount=1

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...=333125&page=2

... are all the same dealer looking for some cheap stock. Perhaps it is just coincidence they all come from Norwich, and are new members that evaporate quickly?

Perhaps I'm just too cynical?

Not cynical, more likely just realistic, unfortunately.......

Rather coincidental to have two similar requests for motors from the same area, unless of course there's something in the water in Norfolk.......

As always Steve, I do hope I'm wrong about this. Unfortunately the pattern seems the same every time: a single thread with a story about needing a 240, no other introduction or explanation, always disappear very quickly afterwards... and always from Norfolk.

I think it is probably a dealer on a fishing trip (or three) looking for some cheap stock to flip.... but as always I hope the OP proves me wrong: acquires a 240 and remains a regular contributor to this forum for many years.



... but I suspect I'm not wrong .
