Volvo 340 1.4

[Harlen123]

As per title, must be a 1.4. Don't mind if it's 3 door or 5 door. Colour doesn't bother me either.

I want one that's ready to go that doesn't need any work, but if it does it must be of the bare minimum.

I've got £200 to spend, but if you've got one with some tidy wheels and lowering blocks i can stretch to £400.

I'm in Milton Keynes, so i don't want to travel to far!

Thanks a lot!

I'm afraid to say I think you're looking at the wrong type of cars if you want something that needs no work for £200...

[Harlen123]

I think i am being a bit loose with that... What i mean is something that does run nicely, i don't mean something in showroom condition with 20,000 on the clock.

Mileage isn't an issue, and neither is condition really. If it's got a few dings and scratches, that's fine and if it's got 120,000 on the clock then that isn't a problem.

As long as there isn't a lot of rot or rust (I can patch up bubbles fine), and no major engine faults, i'm interested.

200 will get you some wheels and lowering blocks whether you can get a car tossed in is anybodys guess.

Keep trying the offers section,adtrader etc you might hit lucky.

Try a pm to Redline he is a part time car dealer i am lead to believe and also lives in the land of roundabouts and concrete statues

[Harlen123]

Thanks for the help. I know £200 isn't much of a budget, but i've seen some sell in that region on Driftworks that are in full working order, and I don't really want to spend to much on one.

I missed out on one on ebay a couple of weeks ago by £5! It sold for £107 and my max bid was £102, all it needed doing was a small leak. So yeah, I'll keep my eye out for one and see if i can get lucky!

[volvosneverdie]

Probly worth bearing in mind dude: if someone on ebay says its just a small leak, its probably mebees a bit more eh? and other stuff besides perhaps. like rotted sills or summat that most punters wont clock on the first once over.
I will stand by this statement with vigour though:
Anyone advertising vehicles on this forum, that has longstanding membership, will be honest. and will probably help you more on top than anyone else thats sold you a car in the past, or even future.
thats the gospel truth brother.

Can I get an Amen?

I SAID CAN I GET AN AMEN!?

[sven360]

I think he might be right.

Just don't buy owt off me it'll be a right pile

[volvosneverdie]

Yeah, I meant to add- "dont buy out off Sven though. He'll sell you a sack of logs and say its a gearbox"

But then I thought nah, not really. Sven wouldnt waste logs.
