Ebay 440
my 440 is on ebay, if anyone wants to give a sensible offer I'm willing to listen.

Nice looking car .
That has a CVT gearbox , i'd be very surprised if its still ok at over 100,000 miles though and towing a caravan with it would be a no no anyway ..

With a clean and the arch doing it will come up well.
I have not noticed any problems with the CVT it seems to accelerate smoothly at a constant rev, it was a bit lumpy when I got it but new plugs and redex soon seemed to sort it. Its a shame it has to go but it just is not up to towing. If anyone knows if a 2ltr is ok for a caravan please let me know. I would like to keep a 440 but would prefer a bit higher spec as this one does not even have electric windows. Also what do you think of the price? |

It's the weight of the car which determines the towing capability really , the 440 is a light car , you can push one along the road on your own quite easily try that with a
V 70 :-) There would be traction problems getting away especialy with a 2 litre 440 . Price is fair but that CVT box would bother me a lot because when it packs up, the car is scrap :-( An easy conversion to manual though with a suitable doner car .. I would look at a V40 in that size car for towing ..
