    Gotta love old boxy volvo estates inparticular! :D

    Is it just me or is the left door a bit off colour or alignment? Something looks off about it.

    €500 and NCT until August

    Recommended that a while ago to someone on here, it was 900 euro then, serious bargain there for someone as I see its sold now.

    They wouldn't be a great car on a good day, a 12 year old 1.8 petrol one with 155,000 miles. i'd like to say change from the price of a pint before i'd buy it.

    Wouldnt suit badgernomics people like your good self, they are a great family car, great reviews and would be reliable, even with 155k which is avg mileage for the year.

    It's not actually, the 2.3 was quite possibly the worst engine in the range (in terms of longetivity and reliability), T series engines didn't suffer from Head Gasket trouble, there is no such thing as a "Rover direct-injected 'T' Series diesels okay", it's an L series.

    So it's not accurate at all really :)

    What made you think it was by the way?

    I don't know about that, it only has 2 months left on NCT, chances are there's no tax and the interior especially the steering wheel look at little bit past it.But hey it's a Jag V6 for €1600, could be a decent buy!:)

    Wouldn't touch it unless the seller put it through the NCT first.

    Was behind a real poshy lady in one yesterday at a roundabout, as i pulled up beside her at a roundabout she looked at my car as if to say "Hmmpph, state of you"

    it was 99, i'd probably sell my wheels and seats and buy one :pac:

    HonestJohn is far from accurate on many occasions. I wouldn't give it too much credit at all. ;)
