A new set of bearings for some cars (don’t know on the Volvo) are 40 per side or less. And the bushes are not too costly either. If you are not a very competent home mechanic then I personally would budget a regular flow of £300 as the garages will change these £40 parts but will want a couple of hours labour. I also think it’s well wel overpriced and will sit unsold for some time. |

It's a nice looking car but it's not worth £4k.

A T5 with a Pistonheads sticker on the boot - time to walk away.

You owned this lovely barge before, didn't you? Is she worth a punt nearer to 3k? Appreciate you don't own it now but I know you did some work on it during your ownership.

Walk away from it. Unless your can get it for 1k or under then possibly. But that car isnt worth 4k! No where near that. I believe another member on here was looking at this same car aswell. But for the money you can find alot better. |

Yes you're right I dont like that at all. I genuinely think people have lost the plot with pricing cars. For 5k there are plenty of decent cars that can be had. I myself ( as you already know) wouldn't even consider paying that. Rather buy myself a hot hatch like a clio 182 or a ep3 type r ect. This is just my opinion and I very well know that the majority of volvo lads will burn me alive for saying that, but honestly for 5k I wouldnt even consider that. |

The thing that astonishes me with all these vehicles is that they just do not sell, they don’t.
As always the saying is a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. If someone wants to pay £8,000 for a 1994 Volvo 960 then clearly the seller will ask it and good luck to him. However I see the same vehicles online that were online at lockdown a year ago plus! It’s crazy. |
