So im considering the sale of my Volvo 340 1.4 1989 in May after my insurance runs out.

its got an MOT, but will not have any tax on it put 6 months on end of august as the tax was a birthday present. Its had a lot of work carryed out, Some by me and some by my friendly mechanic, even though i am a trained as a mechanic myself( 3 years of studying ended july 07).

Worked carryed out:
Replaced 2-1 exhaust manifold.
Replacement Bell housing after original bell housing release fork failed.
New air filter a month or 2 back.
1 new tyre so far but due another 3 more soon, spare is still fairly new onlya few 100 miles on it.
Heater hose replaced with alternative hose so a tad to long but does the job.

Good bits:
After market spotlights on front, mounted to front valance.
Washed regularly.
Wheel arches in good condition.
Rear drums cleaned up and painted red.

Bad bits:
Needs new passenger side front wing - Excessive dents from previous owner.
Few paint defects/damages around boot lock area.
Drivers door requires new hinge pin and tightening of door lock.
Carb could do with rebuilding/replacing.
Suspension on last legs really


Hopefully being done soon:
New rear shocks with anyluck some Monroe's
3 new tyres Kwik fit own brand to match the new one purchased the other day, spare is still a GoodYear GT2 - but currently in use

So yes whats she worth? Would i be wrong to expect arround £4-500?


Steve

Built in a GTT engine, and you won't concider anymore to sell it. :]

especially if you take a look about the money it have been cost :]

To be relistic in the condition its in now I would say between £50 - £150

You could be lucky and get more.

Mint exapmles are fetching the £500 ish and drift built cars around teh same

Fritz ive considered that but i think i want my dream car the porsche:)

Dai.
shes a pretty mint motor if i fixed the wing, drives sweet etc and its a 3 door.

plus theres some in the classfields wanting £300 odd so £150 seems a little low

What monroes are you putting on them? air shocks?

Sold a Greg 3door 340 for £250

Jay

radialmatics with anyluck

I'd say around 250-300... depending on MOT/rust issues

it has an MOT. and will have till august 08.

the only rust is on the damaged wing. think there was a little bit on the edge of one arch where the mudflap attaches. but shes solid.

sorry I forgot the 3dr factor so now agree with SteveP.


It is hard to put a value on a car without seeing. I have seen some 300's go for almost nothing on ebay yet others have gone way over market value.
