    125k miles.
    Nct 09/20 and only €280 tax. Beautiful car.

    Although the pictures it does look like the front bumper is slightly out of place.

    Listed for €2,350 but how much dyou think this would go for realistically?

    Hope it’s ok to post a link to a car I’m selling for my father in law. Very tidy Ford Focus. He bought it recently and now wants something else 😭 after getting the timing belt Sorted. Everything works and it drives nicely.
    Could get someone out of trouble for a few months or a year.

    Remaining PSV tax becomes null and void once ownership changes over to a private owner.

    Nope.

    Googling the reg can sometimes throw stuff up.
    Mileage at last NCT should be on the disc. Cert should show some previous test mileages too.

    Link to the ad?

    Looking at 06/07 XC90's. I have absolutely zero need for one but I've always had a soft spot for them. I'm aware of potential injector issues in the D5 engine as well as gearbox niggles if the routine maintenance hasn't been done.

    This particular car looks fairly rough so I'd imagine you could put the asking price back into it to bring it up to scratch. Still seems to be priced low however so I'm imaginging it has big miles, was hoping there could be a quick way of finding out before ringing.

    Looking at the seats we are talking way over 400k ;) And there is a reason it isn't listed in the ad. I guess 500+

    You can always call, but if it is rough in the photos, can only imagine what it is like in reality...

    To be fair the leather seats terribly on those Volvos. I’ve seen yokes with 120/30k on the clock and the seats were in terrible nick.

    I’d imagine the mileage is high on that car though

    Would you say it could be improved slighly with a good valet or is that pure wear of the leather?

    Cracks a plenty, a die may help a little but they're well past any saving.

    I assume this is slow, real slow.

    But for maybe 500 quid can you go too wrong? Especially as a weekend hike/dog walks etc car.

    It's actually a limo, licenced until July, the plate begins with L, H for hackney T for taxi obviously. Shame it's the diesel, the V8 hemi petrol is a beautiful drive, not as thirsty as you'd think either.

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    The seller of the Chrysler 300 was using it as a wedding car. Two of them in his other ad.

    He has it listed as 150bhp but it's the regular 1.8 engine which is 120bhp (I have one here myself at the moment).
    I actually bought one of my cars from this guy a few years ago. I reckon he genuinely doesn't know the correct rating for the non turbo version and it's just a mistake.

    Most of the cars he sells are all decent runners, but tend to have a few scratches and small marks on them. That's a decent car for that money. One thing about him, he prices his stuff and does not offer a whole lot if you're into trying to bargain, but I'm sure it could be bought for maybe 650. I really doubt he would even go down to 600, never mind 5 :D


    [EDIT]Oh, and in reference to your comment about them being slow, yep, at 120bhp especially in the estate version, they will never break any records![/EDIT]

    It's actually 4 months they are adding to all cars, so you'd have it until beginning of October

    Kinda similar to a 1.6 Avensis.

    I had one back in 2008, they’re a pox of a yoke.

    What kind of problems did you have with your's? I always thought that Saab build a decent car, but as I've never owned one, I just don't know ....and in case I am ever tempted,,, :rolleyes:

    I kind of compared it to the ones in s40 I have, it is lower class car, but the seats look similar. Mine doesn't look that bad and is at 320k+.

    Of course it depends on how the car was used etc, but no mileage in the ad equals astronomical. My guess only, but 400+ at least.

    No signs of wear on mine sterling wheel, only on the buttons a bit so can't judge it by it.

    Needless to say these seats look bad. Really bad.

    No problems at all, plus it was from my job so it wouldn’t have cost me either way.
    It just was a letdown of an engine, the turbocharged ones are so much nicer, and help you overlook some of the shortcomings of the car like some of the interior quality, the iffy gear change etc.

    Overall I like the 93, just that engine ruins it for me.
