Volvo 340 DL C reg 1986

Post by **mithunman** » 18 Feb 2005 02:16 am

Hey guys, i need to get rid of my 340 as my dad is giving me his 440.

Errr ok, I would love to give it away for free, but it has quite a bit of tax and i need some cash to put towards the administration cost of insurance changing the car to the 440.

Everything works fine, has original wheels, mats etc...

slight bit of rust it had on the arch, on the passenger side.

i drive the car to college everyday, has no problems...
it has a manual choke, started first time everyday this winter...

my friend was annoyed because his punto N reg wouldnt start first time but my volvo did!

erm...i have filled the rust in the arch and i also have a close match colour spray which il give with the car, although i never got round to actually spraying the arch..

MOT is at the end of March, im sure it will pass, it has no problems at all...

ive just replaced the glass for one of the headlights because something flew off a truck n smashed the headlight....

i painted the front bumper with some bumper paint, just trying to restore the car...

the interior is clean. i have installed two alpine 6 by 9 speakers on the rear shelf which i will give away with the car... the car has its original volvo speakers at the front...

hmmm i think thats about it?

any questions u can email me or call me on 07916263007

i am looking for around £200 for the car but i will accept offers.
Road tax is still october i think?
i am a student, but i will only sell the car to someone who i believe will take care of the baby as it is my first car and i am emotional about it...

Thanks, Mithun

I think £200 is optimistic, but good luck! Probably best to try ebay or Autotrader. I've been getting tempted into something rather more 'sensible' over the winter, but I know the 360 would probably never get put back on the road.

i agree that the 440 is lower - you get a real feeling your sitting in it rather than on it

yer £200 is rather optimistic, i dont mind any offers really as long as the road tax gets paid for

£130 ?

whatever really...

Are the indicator repeaters on their own on the wing, or built into the bumper? That's probably the quickest way to answer that.

cheers
