right, totally honest description:
Its a met blue saloon, mot till feb 2012, tax till july.
engine is noisy but runs fine,
Gearbox fine,
Keys lost.
tracking out, bent wishbone - been like this since I got it.
Just done a 2 trips down south of 600 miles each, didn't miss a beat.
Paint scratched down one side, T-cut job only.
few dents on bonnet, few dings down each side, nothing too ugly tho'
Couple of areas of rust/rot.
economy is fine 40+MpG on motorway.
Spare is flat,
no longer needs brake fluid change.
Selling to make money for a new car.
Logbook present, Mot present, tax present.
I'll get £150 or so to weigh in, i really dont want to because it's fairly low mileage - and nearly full mot, and tax and fair tyres.
Fair bit of service history, all from barkingside volvo - £1000s spent - it's had a recent clutch
It needs locks and door glass to be secure.

it's going on the bay now.
put the pics on here too... dont wanna sell but the Frigging Pikeys near me... jEsus!, tried to nick it on the first night!!!!!, I had the foresight to wire the door switches to the horn, heard a beep at 3am, very effective.
It's only a temporary move to pikey land, rather just stay in and save up rather than move AGAIN and again and again... i want to move down south and be a soft shite.. it's really quite lovely in somerset... its really.. i mean.. after a few hours in somerset with the gentle folk i started pronouncing words properly, did'nt say "Innit", "excuse me" took the place of "Wot!?", and so on. amazing.
Plus, the way people drive down there, You'd think they'd passed a test or something... weird!
If you say thankyou you get thankyou back, very welcoming.
Even the traffic wardens are nice!

I'm open to offers - I'm half thinking of filling it with 2 tons of scrap and weighing in for £400+ but would rather not "kill" it..
Just make an offer man.

So why are you scrapping it? It works perfectly fine. Just needs repairs. Stick it on ebay, you'll make more than £150.

It comes up really well, If the offers good it will come valeted - dashboard is only missing the drives side vent, no "damage".
I can't take any pics but there's no difference from
http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/d ... &mode=view apart from it's been rubbed against a bush on one side and has scratched lacquer down the offside from bumper to bumper - the multifunction switch and n/s/r door needs a quarterglass - no keys.
I'm not selling till I've secured my next car
