Default For Sale 1988 740 GLE Estate

VOLVO 740 GLE Estate Silver Auto F535 OUU

Posting this car on the forum for a couple of weeks before advertising elsewhere in the hope it finds a good home
I bought the car last month on Face book market place locally
Based on the advert I was not expecting much and went along with the intention of buying as a spares car for my sons same year 740 GL estate
However the car is much better than that.
The owner had recently inherited it from his uncle who had owned the car for a number of years
The V5C is with me and the car is registered in my name

Good Bits
Car has a current MOT until Sept 7th and drove really well on the journey home from Bexhill. Engine sounds really nice and the auto box works fine.
I have included the Registration details to allow the MOT history to be viewed. With regard to the advisories. One of the welding jobs ( front floor ) has been done. The rear inner sill corrosion other is really minor and surprised it got noted. From what I can see and based on the last MOT the car should easily pass again. The underside is really solid.
Has a set of Volvo alloys and the leather seats are ok apart from some wear on the drivers seat and the rear seat headrests are missing
Everything seems to work apart from one door speaker

Bad Bits
The MOT mileage has been the same for a number of years so assume the milometer is broke
No paperwork or history of any kind
The fuel gauge has a mind of its own
The headlining has been removed
One of the rear exhaust hanger brackets has broke so rear box held up with one rubber mounting and a bungee cord
The body has some minor scrapes - needs a set of mirrors - needs a really good clean inside.

Message me if you would like some pictures

Car is located at Pett near Hastings, East Sussex
