245 GLT H-reg, 7 seats, 12+months' MoT

I've just put the 240 estate through its MoT, which it passed needing only a few minor things doing. I bought it in October or November last year as I moved into a new house and needed something for load-lugging. I've spent at least £1000 at the garage getting things like engine mounts replaced, getting it a proper service and sorting out the erratic idle. I've also replaced a lot of bits of missing trim and fitted new front speakers and a new Volvo aerial, so it's a bit tidier now than when I got it.

It has the extra seats in the boot and the usual GLT leather interior (stitching undone on driver's seat but otherwise fine, if a bit worn in places).

It's done around 196k miles and pulls splendidly - it's a lovely car to drive on the motorway. No leaks and no nasty smoke.

The only future problem I know about is the rear axle bushes could do with renewing at some point, but it's not an immediate concern.

I'm not sure I really want to sell as it's very handy having a massive car around, but seeing as it currently has MoT for over 12 months (due 19th June 2010) this would be a very good time to sell.

If you'd like to offer me £850 I would probably accept it.

I will try to get more pictures in due course.
