Hello again, I'm Dan, I was on here back in 2011/2012? I owned the Red 340 3 Door, G888 UUD Which now belongs to Theo on here i think? I sold it to a chap in Bristol and he sold it on to Theo I liked the car a lot, i believe it was on around 37K Miles when i got it, absolutely spotless!
I met Speedy when i had it aswell and he had a 340 Saloon with the F7R Engine and when i met him i told him i was thinking of selling my 340 which i did the month after, he said to me at the time if i did i'd get another one at some point, he wasn't wrong
For the last year and a half or so i keep an eye on eBay always thinking about buying one but never doing it, until recently, I was after another 3 door 340 or a Saloon 340 in 1.7 Flavor, Anything i found was either too pricey or miles away, i was in no hurry so i waited.
Last friday i spotted a freshly posted Volvo 340 1.7 5 Door Hatch on eBay, Less than 10 Miles away! Apparently 1 Previous owner 23k Miles from new and spent it's whole life in the same place, I had to go and look for pure interest. It was up for bidding and no buy it now so i got over there the day after it was posted to have a look.
Got over there early Saturday morning and the car was as clean and honest as said on eBay, 23K Miles with history, one owner not a single mark on it! Also Full leather interior, Sunroof, Leccy windows, the lot If im honest i had a budget of around £1000. I asked him what he wanted, to my suprise he said £600. A bit of haggling later i got him down to £500 Well pleased with that.
Put a deposit down and hopefully picking it up this weekend!
Will post pictures of it when i pick it up, current plans are get an MOT slapped on it, Tax it, Insure it and Enjoy it
