Hi Steve, just read your post. Sorry to read you need to sell your car. There is currently a revival in pre "sensor" loaded cars. If your car is straight and has
current MOT you should get more than what you are asking! Are you sure you want to sell? Not many 400 series left! Good luck with sale Jane

Default selling my 440li

hi, thank you for your reply, i know its legal to drive to a test station without tax or test as long as car is pre booked in. also must be insured.which its not. ( test station is end of my road, 2 mins away ) if i put a test on it, then it would be at least double the price as its got service history & only 39,069 miles.its now on my drive so no hurry to sell now. ( still looking for camera to take some photos ) best regards, steve.

Hi Steve
I sent an email to your address. Might be interested in this but would need an MoT so I can drive it down here. Give me an idea of costs involved.

Sorry it ended like that - I wasn't in a position to take it because we already have three cars and I am under strict orders that I cannot rescue every Volvo that is in peril of death, even though I would love to!
