Yes, back in a volvo and another diesel with the 6 cylinder turbo Diesel engine. The paint work is pretty rough. I think I’m gonna have to get the DA out one evening to try get it back. Barely run in at a quarter of a million miles. I also think I probably paid well over the odds for it but I...

Yeah, Saxo was a bad purchase that I should have broken. Think I lost a grand on that one.

My mother always told me. There’s only one thing worse than getting talked about and that’s not getting talked about. That’s helping me through this thread.

I’m not @MarkCup

I think this is a little unfair! My recent history had been pretty good. Volvo 850 - didn’t lose Pug 405 - bought for £450 and sold for £450 Volvo 940 smoker - bought for £1100 and sold for £1500 Volvo 360 - bought for £1500 and sold for £2400 Volvo 940 turbo - bought for £1100 and sold for...

For genuine?

That’s what I’ve done. To be fair the lads been sound about it. Just one of those ‘intermittent’ faults unfortunately that could be one of 3 things - each thing costs about £300 to replace though.

I can only go with what the specialist said really - he was fairly confident it was fixed and it was....for around two weeks.

I know. I feel bad. At least I fixed some of the issues.

Just heard from the new owner that the car has gone into limp mode. I feel bad but genuinely thought it had been fixed! It should have been fixed for the money I spent!!!

Back to volvos for me! Never lost a dime on one!

The drop link was knocking like buggery so needed doing. The steering wheel was off centre so really needed sorting as was annoying. The key was practically in half so needed fixing. The fast flashing / leds were an mot fail so would need doing. The maf and map etc had been cleaned by the...

Safety first! He came straight from work.

I’ve got the fastest road legal bike in the world. In 1988.

Something cheap. I’ve come to the conclusion that I much prefer fast motorbikes to fast cars.

Sold it for what I paid. I reckon I could have got 14k if I’d of held out but the love wasn’t there.

Sold it for what I paid. Shame I’d spent £900 on it.

Too many. I think I prefer driving the old shitters though.

Sold.

True, you just lose 2k in depreciation.

Yeah, I’m hoping that’s what will happen.

Yeah, parcel force 24 hrs was more 120hrs .

I’ve not sold it yet! Not even had a sniff but to be fair it probably does look dodgy so can’t blame people. On a side note, my exhaust back boxes turned up today.

£1500 loss in two weeks. It’s like buying a new car from the show room!

The breakdown issue I had has ruined the experience for me. I don’t think it’ll sell as they’re quite a niche vehicle but we shall see. The exhaust turned up today so a bit of extra noise might change my mind.

It’s for sale.

Cars back and I’m £900 lighter but seems to be ok now - hopefully! Back boxes were collected on the parcel force 24hr service on Monday and still haven’t arrived. Will hopefully turn up Monday!

Mpg on the first 500 miles or so.

Looks awesome.
