eurgh... It was sold a month ago. Not impressed seen as i spent £3 in total ringing him when his phone was off
None round about and its not feasable for me to travel very far to get it. Might look into other RWD volvo's, possibly a 740 saloon or 440 - not sure if the 440 is RWD or not.
Me Want sideways fun

All 440, 460s are fwd. and poor.
480s less so, but still fwd.
Go 700 or 900 series for power and rwd.

wish the 480 was RWD, looks great
Yeah my dad has a F reg 740 estate with a fuel blockage problem might try a quote on that.
Really wanted a 340 though

Its wait, or travel man.
Dont want to sound like a dick man, but if youve got 500 to splash, buy a good example for 300, spend a 100 traveling and youre still 100 up.

Yes, for heavens sake don't get a 440/460. I did and had endless electrical problems with it, so scrapped it and came back to the trusty world of 300 ownership

its not that i can't afford to travel its that i don't have the time. Full week at college and i'd have to go look at the car, come back decide on if to get it or not, then go back and get it. No time on weekends as i go down to whitby. Can't change any of that.
anyways i'll see. Having a look about i'll see what i find. Insurance on my dads 2L 740 is quite high

Take cash, if its gash you walk away.
If its good, pay.
at 300 quid ish, you can break it or weigh it at a small loss.
