1990 Mk3 Volvo 340 1.7 3DR - Bristol - £400 - SOLD!

Post by mtjm » 07 Jun 2012 09:17 am

I'm selling up my 1990 1.7 3DR.

I bought it at the end of last summer as I needed something while my daily was off the road for a gearbox rebuild. It served me well since then, but for the last few months I've only been driving it about once a month. Since I have two other cars this one is just taking up space right now, so it's up for sale.

Good Bits:
Body is solid, no rust, paint is good
Drives well
Lots of service history and MOTs
6 Months MOT, taxed til end of month
Serviced in last six months with new air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, dizzy cap, rotor arm, plug leads and plugs

Bad Bits:
The odometer is busted. It reads 37K miles which was about accurate when I bought it (backed up by service history). I've probably done 3K more since then.
Passenger side door only opens from inside
Sunroof doesn't open properly
The alloys have been sprayed black (not by me) and are starting to flake a bit
Needs two new rear tyres

Here are some photos, from the thread I bought it from last year. I'll add some newer ones if the rain ever stops, but it looks pretty much exactly the same.

I'm based in Bristol and I'm looking for £400.

If interested you can PM me or post in this thread, or text or call me on 07551 595713. If I don't answer just leave a message and I'll get back to you.

This is my old car!

I had this last, sold it to this guy :)

I can vouch for the condition, the thing is absoloutley spotless, They're even my pictures from when i had it :mrgreen:

Would have this back straight away if i had £400 :(

Dont suppose you fancy a swap for a 306 1.9 diesel? 87K On clock, Years MOT and 5 Months tax? :)

Thanks for the feedback guys. No swaps I'm afraid, I have too many cars as it is. Otherwise I'd be keeping it!

It stopped raining for a few minutes, so I took some more up to date photos. It looks much better than this when the sun is shining....

Agreed. I think this car has been very lucky with its owners so far and that shows in its condition, which is amazing for a more than 20 year old car. I'm glad its going to someone on here who will look after it.

That's why i sold it in the first place, i wanted a 340 to slam and drift and i couldn't bring myself to do it to this one it was mint!

I picked it up from Swindon off of an elderly gentleman who'd had it his whole life and loved it, garaged/cleaned religiously.

I had it a good 4/5 months while saving money but i decided to get rid instead of ruining it, all i did was service it and clean it weekly aswell as drive and enjoy it. :)

Mark came down and got it and im confident he took good care of it, top bloke!

Glad it's going to somebody on here!, i tried getting it back from mark but i have no cash :(
