1996 Volvo 940 GLE Turbo automatic

93,640 miles (subject to change)


I purchased this car last year for a lady I work for, as it turned out she couldn't insure it due to its age (don't ask me why, I don't understand)

The car was owned by an elderly gentleman who didn't use it much and it was stored for 10 years.

Since then I have used it daily myself and covered 12,000 miles including several trips abroad with no issues.

In the past 12 months its had
New fuel pump
New timing belt
New accessory belts
New A/C condenser
New Bosch Crank position sensor
New radiator
Gearbox drain and refill (10 litres)
New rear calipers discs and pads
New front calipers disc and pads
Recent wipers all round
Recent coolant flush and refresh.

Good bits
This is a GLE Turbo model, so has full grey leather interior, sunroof and airconditioning.

It is a low pressure turbo model but I have fitted an adjustable boost controller on the dashboard along with a boost gauge so you can turn the boost up from 4 to 8 psi which gives approximatley 30 hp more which is nice for overtaking.

Runs and drives perfectly
Nice cold A/C
4 good tyres
Fresh MOT valid until 16.05.25(no advisores)
Will be serviced again before sale.
Genuine volvo head unit that works well all speakers good.
Remote central locking with alarm and immobiliser.
ZERO rust on the body or underside.
Comes with roof bars and a set of winter tyres on steel wheels.
Snow mats
Load cover

Bad bits
Fuel gauge inoperative, I fill it up every 300 miles and reset the trip clock so never got around to fixing it.
One of the headlight wipers is not working
Rear drivers side door lock is a little tempremental when using the RCL
There are numerous dings and scratches as this was a london car there have been some questionable touch ups and rattlecan repairs in places made to the car but its not too bad. (I can get the body repaired and resprayed at buyer expense if requested)

I'm off to France in this car in mid June and wont be back until the 20th so it won't be availiable until then and will have accumulated another 1 or 2k miles.

£4750 obo

I've fixed the headlight wiper and door lock problem.

I've also determined that the fuel gauge itself is working normally and the reason its not reading correctly is due to a sticking sender float
