Hi everyone,
Joined up to this forum as im really interested in the volvo 300 series. Im 17 and im thinking about a 340 for a first car , this may seem mad but on insurance there one of the cheapest compared to Saxo's and 106's

. So im looking for a 340 preferably a 1.4 manual or even a 1.7 manual.
Cheers Dan

Welcome mate!
nice choice, i found a (2L) 360 was cheaper to insure than my first car a 1.4 pug 206. I also find on price comparison sites that the difference between a 1.4,1.7 or a 2l volvo isn't that much.
volvo 300s are way cooler than 106s and saxos too. good luck finding one!
'88 360 +T LSD - sold
'87 760 TDI (D24TIC) - sold
'04 V40 D sport (F9Q, decat, Remapped, launch control)
'89 740 SE (b230ft, 12psi, V-cam, headwork, 'remapped', banded steels)
'86 340 DL 1.4
