Hardly been looked after properly has it??? :thinking: Many advisory items ignored until they have subsequently failed and the speedo/odometer is dead because it's not recording mileage any more.

Also the word you're looking for is principle, NOT principal. You should also be looking for some anger management as you clearly have a problem.


I tell you what DAVE! Come hear and I’ll show you anger management! If you read the advert everything has been done! You f••king pathetic C•NT. I’m gonnnamake sure I attend all meetings hoping to run into you.

'Rikvdub', 'Laird Scooby' is one of the most knowledgeable, experienced, courteous and helpful contributors on this forum.

The use of dots notwithstanding, your personal attack upon him is uncalled for, unacceptable and offensive in the extreme.

It will therefore come as no surprise to you that it has been reported for Moderator attention.

John.

I feel a bit for the OP.

If you want to buy the car that’s fair enough but if you’re just ****ting on someone’s advert to pass the time of day that makes you a bit of a ****.

IMO of course.

Laird... Am I right in saying you have a Rover

However you can't describe a car as "Stunning" when it clearly isn't. :nah:

Good luck with the US connection, i suspect you will need it! Why would someone want to spend thousands of bucks importing a car several thousand miles and then having it converted to LHD when all they need to do is go to California, or a similar state with deserts and pick one up in as good condition, if not better for less money? Seriously, ask yourself that!

Lastly, i'm not going to get into a willy-waving competition about agreed values, simply point out you've posted on a Volvo forum where almost all of us own Volvos of one form or another. I wouldn't want another 240, not my cup of tea to be honest.

I'm glad you're in no hurry to sell it, the price will put most people off to start with and your attitude will put the rest off.

Hi Laird
Am I right you own a rover sterling. I may have the chance to buy one.
Advice appreciated
Hutch

I keep quiet during proceedings for just that reason, but now the OP has sold it I don't mind sticking in my two penneth.

And my two pennth is simple. When the word "stunning" is used, one expects it to be just that. Sadly, while it appears solid and fairly presentable there are too many faults and flaws to make the use of that word legitimate by a long stretch.


stunning
/ˈstʌnɪŋ/g
adjective
extremely impressive or attractive.




Speaks for itself.

It's certainly not original. A 1989 model with a B230K engine (as evinced by the mass of plumbing looping over the cam-box cover) shoud have a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Methinks someone is pulling a fast one. However, the new owner may surface on the forum and enlighten us all.

I support you very strongly John: there is never an excuse for rudeness in this community of ours. LS is a good bloke and trying to be helpful - the OP was out of order. Thank you for making that stand.

I have a sneaking suspicion the American buyer of the OP's motor car will turn out to be a phantom only visible to Rikvdub, so perhaps BED991 will show up a few more times yet.

You are indeed correct, to save cluttering up the forum, drop me a PM about it. If you can let me know which one you're looking at or at least the year, engine size and transmission. :thumbs_up:

Now this is an interesting one. I’d almost forgotten about Rikvdub crowing about selling his motor car at an absurdly high price, but then I saw the very same motor car advertised on eBay today:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-240...-127635-2958-0

Ho hum, it looks like the motor car wasn’t exported to the USA after all, and languishes in Hertfordshire.

:-)

PS. I’ll report back at the end of the auction to let you know whether the motor car gets any bids over the £3,500 starting price.
