1996 945 Sports Edition

440-Turbo · Sep 21st, 2010, 11:47

I would like to sell my 1996 940 Estate Metallic Black 2.3 manual Sports Edition estate on to an enthusiast who has the time and patience to make it into the car it deserves to be.

I bought the car for £2300 in November 2009 with the intentions of it being a family car forever. I had great plans to make it pristine and modify it.

It had been my dream car for as long as I can remember but it turned out to be quite a disappointment. I never really attached to the car and just tolerated it. I now have a V70 R AWD Auto that I am converting to manual, a V70 R AWD Auto LHD that is being used as our family car and a Renaultsport Clio 172 as our fun 2nd car. I only have space for 2 cars.

The car has several issues, it is dirty inside from 10 months of neglect. It has on oil leak which I believe is related to a stalling issue. The engine warning light is on. There are two small dents on the passenger side at the rear. The headlight wipers have been removed and the passenger side rear light is faded and chipped. The diff occasionally whines.

I believe the oil leaks is related to the PCV/flametrap which would hopefully also cure the stalling issues. The engine warning light came on after I removed most of the intake system and cleaned out all the hoses, which has improved the stalling issues. I have Volvo axle oil, plug and washer for the diff and a gasket for the throttle body.

Other spares included are

Black leather door cards in near immaculate condition
Genuine Volvo detatchable tow bar
Wing mirror
Rear light cluster
Air filter
Spark plug leads
Genuine Volvo diff oil, plug and washer

I believe I can make approx £1000 breaking the car quite easily. There is also tax until the end of June 2011 which is worth £150. It has MOT to November 2010 and has covered 160k miles.

In light of this I value the car at £895 in it's current condition including the tax. This does not include any wheels as the car is currently fitted with Polaris alloys, which I value at £600. If you want the car with the wheels the price is £1450. I am not accepting offers on these prices. That is the price.

If the car has not sold by end of September I will cash the tax in and start accepting requests for spare parts.

Pictures of the car will follow later today once they are uploaded to PhotoBucket.

If you have ANY comments relating to this car, it's value or the parts included then send me a private message. Do NOT post here. If you are genuinely interested in this car and have any sensible questions then please do post here.

Car is located near Aberdeen.

this is a car i would like to get my grubby little mitts on if i ever had the money, good luck selling it

Tax will be getting cashed in within the next few days.

It won't be broke straight away, I'll hopefully repair it over the winter months and put it back up for sale next year. If it's going to be uneconomical to repair it may be broke.

If I can't find the enthusiasm I may just take the special bits off and send to auction.

Alternatively, I would sell it for less without the spares and tax, if anybody were interested but could not afford or justify the price.

unfortunatly i have only got an estimated £100 spare in the piggy bank

damn apprenticeship wages and long journeys! hopefully it will be easy to fix and get back on the road to a loving family/owner as intended!

Tax sent back - price is now £700

With the Polaris £1300

440-Turbo · Oct 1st, 2010, 08:57

Now breaking.

At the moment, the Polaris are not for sale so don't ask.

matbat · Oct 1st, 2010, 10:26

Shame you didn't get a buyer.

If you are now breaking the car is the turbocharger in good condition, and for sale?

If so how much are you after?

Cheers,
Mat

Hi Mat

Yes the turbo is perfect, I can't remember the exact mileage but it has done approx. 45k miles. The previous owner fitted it. (Chesh740R on here)

I'd like £65 posted for it.

If you are in an urgent rush for it, you may be better to search elsewhere as I won't be able to get it off until the car is in it's final resting place and I am unsure when that may be.
