I got another volvo....2 1/2 years later!
Hello Gents! Long time no speak!
The last volvo I had just over 2 1/2 years ago was the volvo 740, and had to sell that after insurance shot up. I ended up buying a small fiesta which was good until it began burning oil and will fail its MOT..Started a new jo recently and now need the car more than ever, I had to run out and buy a car quickly.. Well, I had 500 to spend, so I though 'cheap car, it would have high mileage, but need it to be dependable'..... Volvo came to mind! Pictures soon, but imagine a metallic green S40, 115k on the clock, 1 owner from new, 13 service stamps in the book, two keys and a fitted wired tow hitch. £500 a crumpled nearside corner which needs repairing and the drivers door wont lock (need to look inside the door, actuator rods may be loose) and a howling front wheel bearing...aircon and everything else works... not bad for £500.. polished up well! I'm back in volvos again |

Here she is! Still a bit grubby and she's in the mechanics for a new wheel bearing, new tyre, CV boot and a new ABS sensor. I want to get a service done, and get all the brakes all done as well at some point in the near future.
I don't mind spending money on things like this, because technically the car only cost me £100 (sold one of my welders for £400, and put this to the car) |
