My slammed Volvo 240 estate **SOLD**

[tigran]

Yeah, it pains me to do it, but I really need some cash flow, and I have a much better car to lug stuff with and tow with.

I've put on a year's MOT on it and 6 months tax, that was at beginning of october some time. So there is a fair bit of each left.

It's a fugging comfy cruiser and 70 is a very relaxed 2500rpm with the O/D on. It's a 3spd auto with O/D. It has electric front windaaaz, heated seats, PAS and other stuff I can't remember. It all works, and it runs very well - I ran it for about 2,000 miles without a glitch. No oil leaks, no leaks of any sort tbh.

Reverse gear can be a bit tempremental but it always works, just with varying degrees of success. Its got a dog guard and a really cool plastic boot protector thing. I would love to keep it tbh but I need to get rid of a car, and this is the one that's not being used at the mo.

Oh and it comes with a spare power steering rack - there is a tiny bit of play in the rack on one side, but I told the tester about it and he didn't pick up on anything wront - I got the rack before it went it for MOT. So it'll come with the car.

Can't think of anything more to say about it tbh, it's running nice now with the misfire it had sorted out (t'was me being a daft sod and not putting the HT lead on properly )

Also it is completely rust free - I looked for the stuff for aaaaaaages and could not find any anywhere. It is by no means perfek but it is a solid reliable car that'll do you proud.

Some pics:





Looking for £500 ono for it, I got it for less than this but with the tax, mot and the work it had done for MOT I don't think that's excessive.

Send us some pics and the copy (if you want me to copy this one) and I can bosh this on the VOC if you want tig.

Damn... couple of months too late, this would've been right up my street.

Awesome car, good luck with the sale! ;D

Bump-a-thon.

What's the ground clearance like on this now it's slammed? (many speed bumps and as a daily)

Anyone recon this would take a T5 transplant?

[tigran]

i used it as a daily for a while and it didn't ground out once - if you look at the top pic there is heaps of clearance with everything tucked up nicely - which is why i was planning to get it lower by at least another inch but other reasons stopped that (steering rack and prop shaft angles). The engine bay is cavernous and a T5 would be cool but for a much more straight forward conversion i was tempted to find an old volvo 4 cylinder turbo lump to drop in.

[tigran]

Buuuuump.

I'm interested in the car a few more details and interior pics would be appreciated

Yep, I can vouch for its superb load lugging ability without hitting the tarmac once

I'll see if i can find some interior shots. About 130 miles away from the car at the mo so will try and sort some.

Any particular details?

[rob0r]

Where is the car located at the moment? Potentially got a mate who's interested.

[tigran]

It's in potters bar at the moment. But can be in bournemouth if needs be.

[WillCarter]

Somebody buy this please before I do, I really don't need it.

[tigran]

bump-a-thon.

[tigran]

Buuuuuump.

[slammed 66]

Keep it you ghey and sell the damn folk- instead!

Do you have any idea how much effort i put into bullying you to buy it in the first place?

[tigran]

Hahaha. That was a top bit of ushering. But i'm afraid the foc- is a keeper.

[tommymanta]
