Cool Future Classic 440 for sale

Future classic for sale?



For sale, we'll looked after Volvo 440 Li, 1.6 petrol manual metallic blue, 1993 K reg
86k, service history, 4 owners it belonged to a friend of the family who only ever drove a few miles to work and accumulated about 40k, I was the next owner, then my mum, and now it's been back to me, so although on the V5 it says 4 owners it's not really.
Interior seats have been upgraded to half leather set, and comes with the factory fitted Momo sport steering wheel.
Good condition for its age and mileage, we'll looked after, with only one slight dent on one arch.
Drives very well, smooth and powerful enough for any journey whether it be round town or motorways. Loads of capacity inside when the seats are down, I'd call it a big small car.
I will add photos this weekend.
Tax is due to run out end of this month.
Mot I will check this weekend.
Instant drive away. Ideal 1st car, cheap to run, cheap to insure, a future classic.

Only selling as I have an S60R to play with.


Price £800

The picture which looks like the arch is rusted through isn't it is just shadow from the paint bubbled away, the arch is intact.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think you're better off selling this at around £4-500.

400s are not worth much and the arches on yours are in need of some serious attention soon. I'm sure it's a decent car but £800 will buy you a very good [but not mint] NA or Diesel 440\460.

I'd also suggest that you swap the steering wheel back for a standard one and sell that separately - you'll probably see a few quid back for that set.

It's your car and you can advertise it for what you want, but I don't think it'll find many takers at that price. I bought a serviceable 460 Turbo for £425 with 10 months' MOT and there's a 440 Turbo currently on eBay without T&T for £500.

Enjoy your S60 and GLWTS.

I'd agree with jakobandhismakarov. Except the rust there is no power steering, no electric windows, no air conditioning, no alloys, no painted bumpers, no even rev meter. And where the hell is brake servo and brake fluid tank ?!

It is way too expensive. My friend has recently bought a later model 1995 1.8 SE, with a load of extras, a bit of tax and a few months MOT for £250.

But, good luck.

Actually, yeah - £200 to £300's more realistic. I was being polite.
