2001 Volvo S40

100,000kms - long NCT only thing of concern would be the 'some service history'.

Knock a bit off and be good value?

Pretty sure my 1.4 MG has the same engine, and let me tell you these are not good on fuel, 220-250 miles per tank! Still a nice car and a bargain though in my opinion!

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Heavy right foot i'd say

I drive 1.4 '03 R45 as daily car, get on average 420-450 miles from full tank:cool:

Back on topic they are a nice car for the money but are prone to the dreadded HGF issue (i'm on my 2nd in 5 years) which can be avoided by using a uprated gasket & keeping an eye on the coolant levels on a weekly basis!

1 years NCT for €300

Might be worth a look for somebody?

Hmmm, don't know. Its a Vauxhall (English version of Opel) so it was imported from either the North or its a swimmer. Then again, it is in Roscommon, so that would be fairly common up there.
I would be very careful about the service history. That vintage with no mention of a belt being done could be a potential time bomb.
But, you would have to drive it to see and examine the service book (if any). Its right about time it started to give trouble, closing in on 10 years old with 100,000 miles on board. Sh1t wears out, just like all other cars.

I'd be more worried about a claim that the timing belt had been done as I'm 99.99% sure all the 2.0 diesels have a timing chain.

why on earth would DL reg suggest it has been clocked

analfabets · 24-06-2012 9:44pm

Went down to Waterford to see this Saab

After nearly 2 hours drive I was there for 5 minutes and drived away.
Car looks much nicer on pictures. Ad stated that car has cruise control when car hasn't got one the whole dashboard lining was cracked, paintwork was very shabby, needs one mirror, only one key and the remote doesn't work on it and the chain was rattling. Pitty as it looked as nice motor on the pictures.

Just remembered: it needs new SID as well

because when you live anywhere near a main city you nromally drive less miles then a rural car ( no brainer ) but then again... they do enjoy dogging the life out of cars up their... again plates dont matter... full inspection pre purchase does...

It's up for a grand he would probably take €800 for it, in fairness like

He wouldn't. 950€ is the last price he said

hi

If the chain is rattling you can be sure that its not long before the engine goes bang with the now famous "oil sludge issue" they suffer from. been there done that

the motto is " when a Saab rattles WALK AWAY "

regards

brendan

delthedriver · 25-06-2012 10:38am

Well done for walking away.
Too often people let their hearts rule their heads.
The interior is black leather, the door cars are a light colour, the dash is cracked,and the car needs a new sid. There appears to be something very iffy.
The car may be an import too. ISHAM appears on the Service book, sounds like an UK garage. Together with the rattling chain sadly this car may only have a future in spare parts.
Don't feel it was a wasted journey, you are now much wiser,when the next car comes along you will be able to suss it out very quickly. There are good Saabs out there it is a question of finding the right one .
The 95 is a fine car ,keep searching. Unfortunately there is an amount of rubbish on Done Deal, but there are good cars too.
Keep searching

Donegal is a beautiful county,however, I wouldn't buy a DL reg car either.Indeed cars with border county reg plates I rule out straight away.They may suggest an import and may have had the crap driven out of them by numerous previous owners!

It has to be for parts only! Surely?

That's just rubbish.
So what if it is an import? Its down to the car and how well it was maintained, not where its from.
