Sorry to everyone and the guy who come and viewed the car, I have managed to loose my phone so could you please call me on this number instead please. 07429738894 Thanks Steve. Also the vehicles still available as I need it gone asap, so anybody interested please make contact! Model: Volvo 940 2.3 hpt Manual 7 seat Estate Year: 1996 Mileage: 118000 Tax: end March MOT: NOVEMBER 2012 Location: Billericay, Essex. Price: £350 WHY? Contact: Steve on this new number 07429738894 Hi peeps, had this since October and its been great fun. Its the high pressure turbo seven seat model with a manual box. Mechanicals are in great condition. Bodies a little scruffy as is interior. Needs a n/s/r tail light due to an incident in the snow and has a leaky sunroof. The drivers side carpet has been removed by the previous owner because of this. I have fitted a bleed valve and adjusted the boost pressure from 7psi to 18psi so it does not hang about! 0-60 is in around 6.5-7 secs so its a bit of a sleeper. Suspension coils have been ''adjusted'' all round by the previous owner so it sits low, still rides ok. Rear tyres are on the limit as well. Not really painting a good picture am I? But it has been a good reliable fast car and I'm only selling due to lack of enthusiasm! Suitable for hooning about in or drifting? Open to swaps and offers. Thanks. Attachments:

erm... if you nurse it about you get around 28-30 mpg, if you boot it everywhere then its down to 15-18 mpg. If it was put back to standard then it would be more sensible on fuel, but then it was never going to be an economical vehicle! ;D

That's a 940, not a 740, and if it's a sport, they have quite a following. I think it should have had an egg crate grille, but they sometimes get sold on. Have a look on the volvo owners forum, maybe put an ad on there, and out a 1 in front of the price and take offers - if it is a sport, you should get at least double what you're asking on here given the mileage. I'm tempted myself - do like a Volvo estate - but I've just bought a tatty W123 estate so will have to pass. Otherwise I'd have been round like a shot.

Hi I am Billericay also and very interested but we do have a lot of cars at the moment. Are you interested in a MK3 VW Golf Gti 16v Taxed and Tested or a Volvo 850 T5 Estate Auto with long Test?
