The Volvo thread

[Drago]

I dont mind the 300 series Bricks, they were an interesting branch of the marque history, but this is enough to induce chunder...

Never had a 340, had 440 which was dull and uneconomical.
Small Volvo's don't seem to work imho. Even the V50 wasn't a proper Volvo tbh.

I quite liked the 480, with its pop up headlights, and the C30 had some of it styling cues. My daughter had a C30 which was quite a decent little car.

Use to see two or 3 C70's locally but this one is the only one these days

Those boot spoilers are rarer than an BBC DJ that's isn't a pervert. Wouldn't mind that in my Christmas stocking.

Those door mirrors are aftermarket.

Thats got the 18 inch wheels and different front indicators, which suggests it's a 2002 build or later. A very elegant machine.

From memory it's a 51 plate

It looks in fair condition and in daily use

Can't see much in either pics or info.

Plain alloy interior trim suggests its likely a 2.0. However, some one has sprung for the upgraded dynaudio sound system with the subwoofer, which is nice if it still works. In its day it was one of the best sound systems on any production car.

Id want to know a lot more about it before deciding whether its worth anything like the asking price.

'Something' would be a good start. It's not hard to do a half decent car ad, especially in the new world of AI, but if the seller can't be arsed to do that, then I can't imagine it has been cherished.

 

[Drago]

Aye. It takes "can't be arsed" to a new level.

I stand corrected

Saw this nice little Volvo this evening.

Just about to prepare the family bus (XC70) for sale. It's the longest we've ever kept a car, 6.5 years and running it up to just over 160k, but it's not getting used, and just won't now we've got 2 EVs. Old friends and all that.

I parted company with my V70R in December, a sad farewell but with a new company car being a big estate I couldn't justify it. I found it last week as a write-off, on ebay for parts...

 

[Drago]

You sold it to a murderer!
