Lol. What an idiot. I remember selling one of these in around 1999 for €250. Not the same but Jesus they were awful dogs of yokes.

There must be some back story to that one.
In 1987 Ukraine was still under Soviet control.

to be fair it does look like it's in fabulous condition.

But between the asking price and what would no doubt turn out to be a complete headache bringing it over from the Ukraine I can't see people rushing out to buy it.

Also I think it's a model that somehow (understandably I think) missed the whole wave of retro cool that hit a lot of older Volvo's

Had an '84 model in the early 90's. A ropey carb broke me fuggin' heart. But a more comfortable yoke of that era you wouldn’t find.

That's an incredibly rare car. 0-60 in 4.4 seconds
612 bhp with 738ftlb torque. They do go for solid money. there's only one on Autotrader UK.
I wouldn't buy the one Duke posted, never buy the first gen merc, wait for the facelift when they fix all the problems

Price is still way to high for a 12 year old car.

If you're the type of person that has €60k to p*ss away on a 12 year old car, in all likelyhood you have the money to buy a brand new OR 1 or 2 year old S 63 AMG (That's the successor right?)
Note that car is around €230k new
AND EVEN AT THAT - The AMG GT is the car I'd be having for €60k less!!!

Price seems very high to me.

If it was something like a Lambo or a Ferrari I might say the price is OK but it's 600bhp coupe, It's not a Super Car. (An Evo X would turn more heads than that)

Haha same here, used to be big into my mazda's and it started off because I learned to drive in my dads 323 F

Got my own 323F V6 which I thought was the bees knees , then an MX3 V6 followed by an RX-8..

Mazda have really lost their way now , which is a pity.

Have a look at their new Skyactiv-x engine.

Hard to see why it's advertised here at all.

It wasn't really a Volvo more DAF in it's DNA.

Hey vento the 90s called they want their stickers back.

colm_mcm · 04-10-2018 03:35PM

The imaginary Porsche wheels, Brembos and Recaros add a bit of value

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 04-10-2018 04:13PM

Imagine actually being caught driving that Vento. I’d have to leave the country.

twin_beacon · 04-10-2018 04:31PM

when I first seen that pic I assumed it was a converted track car or something, but no, just a regular vento with stickers!

pah · 04-10-2018 05:43PM

There's a skangermobile thread for that.

Strangely, as an independent dealer all his other stock seems reasonably well priced.

14 year old 320d, NO NCT for 9 months, 313k on the clock.....€3000!.Worth scrap without an NCT. I would give him €400 if I thought I could get it through the test.

They must have seen this thread because the ad is gone now.
I doubt it was sold anyway.

Tell that to the yanks who are dropping up to $100k on them..

It will probably sell for €20k handy enough, when you consider the price of other delicious 90s Japanese metal these days, it's about right. When you look at its rivals - you won't get a TT Supra for that money either.

StereoSound · 08-10-2018 12:02PM

50k for a Lamborghini bodykitted Toyota MR2... This might be a joke I dont know.

If the yanks are paying big money for them then the owner should export the car.
