I'm going to get rid of my 1989 Volvo 740 2.0 GL estate, either sell it as is or swap for a pre 1990 car. I don't really mind, I just want something smaller and a lot more economical.
Tax runs out februaury, mot until march I believe, will have to check though. Has had brand new rear shocks, timing belt done within 3000 miles, oil change, plugs, coolant flush and new antifreeze. Paintwork looks all nice and shiny but with any old car there are some issue, zero rust though.
Has n working alarm and immobilser too.
Few little issues, power steering is stiff on start up, goes back to normal after a minute though? Usual Volvo problem of speedo not working. Also, it used to have a roofrack bolted through the roof, this must've been removed and the holes filled as the filler has sunk a small amount, it doesn't bother me though.
Fuel gauge works fine so does temperature gauge.
Engine pulls bloody well and runs well too, gearbox changes up and down as it should and smoothly.
Huge loadspace with the seats down and has a factory fitted dog guard.
Tow bar with working electrics.
Electric front windows and heated seats and wing mirrors. Mirrors are electric too and all work.
Has had a recent rear exhaust too.
Sad to see it go but I'm only doing short journey in it, and can't afford it right now, especially as Xmas has stripped me of any cash I did have!
Also has the benefit of getting classic insurance, I'm 26, zero no claims and 4 points and its £198 fully comp a year.
Gotta be worth £395?
