Blackberry Volvo 940

[leeds_182]

This came up on one of the volvo forums and thought it was good value so decided to take a punt.

Bought sight unseen from a chap in Glasgow and delivered to me for £140.

Im pleasantly surprised with it. Really tidy on the body, air con, electric seats, sun roof, cruise control so a decent spec.

Here’s a couple of pictures when it just arrived. I’ve spent a few hours cleaning so will get some pictures tomorrow.

Hang on, didn't you just sell one of these that had had loads done to it?

I sold a 740.

 

[Jack!]

£140?

That's an absolute steal, it looks proper tidy.

Great colour too.

Other than ones an estate and the others a saloon.

Its nice though so might use it for a few months.

Variety is the spice of life and all that

Was it purchased before the T25 came up for sale ?

I only got this on Saturday.

I’ve got an offer of 4k on the van but I really want to keep it and Subaru it. It’s expensive though but apparently quite straightforward!

 

[bashracing]

Craig up for it ?

 

[leeds_182]

Craig up for it ?

His first baby is due August so he’s gonna be a bit short of time. You fancy it?

I can point you in the direction of someone at Cawood that will slot a diesel in for you, not sure he's up for a challenge on the Subaru electrics.

There’s a plug and play loom that they do for it. It’s apparently straight forward. Allegedly.

 

[bashracing]

in that case yeah piece of piss

Old grille

New grille

different volvo - sane mods.

 

[Mork of Ork]

It looks so much better with the egg crate grille on.

 

[leeds_182]

Agree! Well worth the £70 investment.

 

[Daz...]

That looks tidy!

How many times have you spent £70 in the last year alone?!

 

[Krarl]

I bet the people that make/sell them grilles are f**king minted because of you🤣🤣

 

[leeds_182]

Think I’ve only bought one this year. I think.

 

[S-JM]

Looks so clean that, needs blackberry banded steelies to go with it. If the egg crate grill is on, how long until the moose badge?

 

[Darren S]

Does look a great purchase - came up tidy as well when you cleaned.

The only thing that pushes my buttons is that shitty piece of twisted pipe that these all seemed to have, as an exhaust tip. I'd have to lop that last section off if I was keeping it.

Yeah, looks gash. It’s actually a brand new exhaust as well.

 

[leeds_182]

Deposit taken.

 

[bashracing]

profit ?

 

[leeds_182]

profit ?

Yeah, didn’t do too bad.

 

[v15ben]

New record?

 

[leeds_182]

New record?

To be fair it was always my intention to sell.

 

[leeds_182]

Guy collected on Saturday.

£500 profit and I never drove, taxed or insured it.

Just goes to show there’s bargains out there if you keep looking.
