I’m willing to bet that guy has had a VW stage in his motoring life.

I think probably.

The price has also dropped on the Car and Classic ad.

I think any future purchaser is heading for a major disappointment if they buy this one unseen. 😯😤

I think you are right Andrew, even if a buyer spent a lot on this motor car it would still have 330,000 miles and so very little residual value.

I suppose the seller must seriously think it is worth 2 grand, as he/she has advertised it at that price a couple of times, both on eBay and C&C. Perhaps it is just what the motor car owes the seller - maybe having paid too much for it in the first place? Sometimes one just has to cut one's losses. I think this motor car has a current MoT, so it is worth something, but it would be at the bottom of the rough cars pile.

What a bizarre world we live in.

£1695 now, another grand to go and it will be a good buy:

I see the £15,000 960 executive has now been reduced to £13,000.

Here's a very pretty '87 240GL saloon with a clean history:

However the asking price (8k) is, IMHO, double what they could conceiveable get for it. And that's probably double again what it's cost them, including those godawful replacement hubcaps.

It is pretty though. The bits they show...

You mean the original factory wheel trims?

Only 'factory' in that that they're what Volvo will sell you now for 14" steelies. That car should have the cover with the spikes (nla and not common secondhand) and the large steel centre (£30 each, ffs) so I can see why it's had those put on to sell it. Any set of alloys would look better though.

I'm not a fan, they say halfords replacement for blob car to me, Volvo logo notwithstanding. Apologies to any readers who've purchased a set, but really....
