Dear All,
Following the recent purchase of a 240GL saloon, I'd like to find a new home for my 1991 Volvo 340GL 1.7. Here's some details if you're interested:
Model: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 from 1991
Mileage: about 93,000 miles, can be charted through old MOTs (FSH)
Location: Muswell Hill, London
Colour: Metallic Grey
Exterior Condition: a slight dent in the metal around the driver's side rear wheel arch, otherwise good. First owner (1991-2003) had the car regularly waxoiled
Interior condition: very good. Only things that don't work are the seat adjustment wheels halfway up the backs of the seat (otherwise all ways of adjusting the seats are working fine), and very occasionally the speedometer decides to do its own thing). Sole extra added recently is the cd player. Hatch, like many 340s, refuses to support itself when open.
Mechanics: generally fine once started, but it currently has great problems starting. We think this might be the starter motor and recent damp weather. No guarantee it will start in its current condition. New battery.
History: full service history. Car appears to have been serviced exclusively at Volvo dealerships by first owner. I am the second owner and have used volvo dealerships and then Braydon Volvo specialist in Hackney.
MOT: yes, until mid-June 2007
Tax: yes, six months
Price: offers. I would love to get the equivalent back for the recently purchased tax disc and stereo (approx. GBP 200), but am open to offers given that the poor thing may not want to start upon viewing!
My contact details: don't post a reply here, as I'm not very good at checking the web at the moment. My home number is 0208 444 7657. Leave us a message and I'll get back to you - am happy for people to view it but no guarantees as to it starting. I'd love this car to go to a Volvo fan, as I think it has a lot of life left in it, once the starting issue is sorted.
Jamie
