ANOTHER Volvo Opinions Thread

[leeds_182]

Since my last Volvo opportunity fell by the way side I find myself looking for other Volvo estates constantly.

This one has come up. Not quite as retro as the 240 but I still think it's cool.

My wife is absolutely against it to the extent that it could put my marriage in jepoadry if I bought it but I'm still tempted.

What do we think of this beauty?

 

[Mr Plums]

That looks nice and s**t so it ticks all the boxes.

If you do buy it tho your car collection would be from one extreme to another, the Volvo and evo couldn't be any different lol.

 

[Daz...]

Not a patch on the 240, and those chrome trims...🙈

2.3 turbo??

 

[leeds_182]

2.3 turbo??

I think it might be the 2.0 turbo.

It's running a bar of boost - around 170-180bhp so should just about move.

Is it sub £500, if so go for it,
Women are a funny thing, when you have a hot hatch in your 30's they say grow up and get something sensible.
Ta-Da, Look love I've bought a Volvo estate, and then all they do is f**king moan!

That looks awful lol. But cool, i'd buy it just to p*** the Wife of haha

 

[Mr R.]

I love it, but then I do have issue's.

 

[imprezaworks]

Really really, not

I feel no love for these, but you do know that, lol

thats top money for a b20 powered car, find a nice 2.3 turbo 96 onwards with the m90 gearbox they're the best start point for tuning/abuse

 

[McGherkin]

Are those chrome arches?

I'd go for the 2.3 as bash said, but hey, if it's cheap...

Currently watching a big white 850 barge its way around Coombe, it's slow as fook but great fun to watch.

Lets be honest, interweb forum geeks will love it.. The rest of the world will think its s**t and quite rightly so unfortunately.

£1000? 😂😂😂

[Nick_Leeds]

That was on ebay maybe a month ago for sub £600 iirc.

 

[Stefan.]

A thousand pounds seriously....
