Car Forum / Volvo Cars / June 2004FS : 740 estate 2.0 automatic '91 in UK
Selling my 740 GL, it's got 86,030 on the clock at this precise moment, fully serviced, 11 months MOT, five months Tax. It's in Dunfermline, Scotland. New exhaust for the MOT, everything works on this car including the headlight wash wipes, and the tailgate lock. Looking for ?500 or thereabouts. > Selling my 740 GL, it's got 86,030 on the clock at this precise moment, > fully serviced, 11 months MOT, five months Tax. > It's in Dunfermline, Scotland.

Years MOT is worth ?250, 6 months road tax ?90, mileage with history at 86,000 not 161,000, everything working A1, no rust etc etc. Seems fair to me. If you want an auction price go to the auction and gamble. >> >> Selling my 740 GL, it's got 86,030 on the clock at this precise moment, >> >> fully serviced, 11 months MOT, five months Tax.

If you could hang on to it until my '87 740 wears out, I'll have for the asking price, no haggling. Should only be about another 15 years at this rate.

In 15 years, my car will still be the same, pass the MOT etc. etc. If I haven't sold it it by then, it's yours !!! but probably for ?2000 cause it will be a classic by then LOL > > >> Selling my 740 GL, it's got 86,030 on the clock at this precise moment, > > >> fully serviced, 11 months MOT, five months Tax.

If you want an auction price > go to the auction and gamble. you;d be better off contacting the Volvo Owners Club and advertising it there, demand for a clean, straight good order will be alot higher with them.

But given petrol prices the way they are I think £350-£400 is a bit more realistic , Assume your selling it for this reason . Car is sold. ?450 for those who are curious. > Car is sold. ?450 for those who are curious. I'm curious. Can I have the ?450 now, please? ;-) Tom.

Lol , just seen these ramblings. Sorry - money well and truly spent. : ) <snip> > Lol , just seen these ramblings. Sorry - money well and truly spent. : ) Ramblings? How dare you, sir! This is the finest *wibbbling* that newsgroups can provide. Mere rambling is just the flapping fingers of amateurs. *Wibbling*, on the other hand or, indeed, other wibble can go on for days, but seem to the readers, months. Why, a fine wibbler can not only take a topic and move it from its original intention but completely derail the topic, move to something else and draw others into it too. Now, while I certainly can wibble, I am a mediocre performer at best compared to some of the wibble-masters I have met. I recall now the first wibble master............... <drifts off into a wibble that will probably include the phrase 'these were all lush green newsgroups when I were a lad'> :-) Tom > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Tom Wibble....

Ah, nuts! I can't believe I didn't see that gaping hole in my argument. Still, never mind, the better wibble simply won the day. ;-( Tom. |
