hi guys, got a bit of a dilemma, bought me a Volvo 940 HPT as I wanted to put the drive train into my laurel but its not going to fit. now I don't know what to do with the Volvo. its a damn nice car with all the extras and electrics and it all works tickety boo. its done 262,000 miles but according to the Volvo boys this isn't "end of life" more "just settling in". and it pulls like a train. and runs sweet as a nut. no tax or test but wont need a lot, five good tyres, etc etc etc. even got six disc in the boot. would be criminal to scrap it. well heres a pic and ideas welcome. the wifes going to start moaning soon, lol.  |

Pay for my train fare down and I'll come and take it away ;D
Or stick it on ebay for 99p with no reserve (and a damn good description with loads of photos) and see what happens!!

Has it got to go?
If so, get it in for an MOT. Even with just a fail slip it'll be worth more than with no MOT and the well worn "won't need much for a pass" line.

Give it to me. I couldn't find one when I was looking last year and ended up with an old Audi instead.

I'll have some bits off it before you sell!
As above, get it MOTed and you'll get 600 all day, without it'll be 300...
Pm me if you do decide to get rid.

hmm of course if you could afford it there's always the mot and tax it, dress it up a bit and take it on a banger rally ;D. bet that would cruise nicely long distance.

Couldn't get more than 350 offered for mine when I tried to sell it last year so I kept it, mines still going strong at 265000 with the boost turned up high and went through the last MOT just needing an exhaust. Has been no bother at all although it needs a service now, started ticking over a bit lumpy.  |
| |
Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

If it's got MOT I'll be interested at the right price. Where abouts in Dorset are you?
