Possible 2nd hand engine put in badly?

I think the milage it a typo. It says 138,000 in the body of the ad.

It's 1200 now, seems legit ( not joking) and it states 138000 miles,

9 2015 NCT makes it a steal

So many people just aren't capable of handling big numbers at all. God forebid any of them got a job in the IMF:)

Its in at €1200 now so must have being dropped in price again since nd posted the ad. He must be very eager to get shut of it. Not sure would I put too much trust in somebody who goes by the name of Volvo

More Swedes,

1998 Volvo V70 7 Seater

€750 seems a bargain, just needs taxing and you're off

Maybe at €850 or so, it will make for a reliable and safe family bus.

Great bus - one thing worth trying to suss out is whether that was a genuine 7 seater from factory.

I thought I heard or read - that on some of these cars it was possible to retrofit the 7 seat option afterwards

Maybe it isn't a big deal - but im led to believe that other manufacturers actually make changes to the shell - to make it stronger at back - when they fit the extra seats to estate cars from factory.

Still a great bus though especially if you didn't ever need the 7 seats anyway.

Id still buy it if I wanted a big estate

Kaiser D · 28-12-2013 01:52PM

More estates,

Ford Mondeo TDDI
2.0 Diesel, manual
190k Miles
NCT 9/14, no tax
€1050
The "open to reasonable offers" is a good sign. I reckon €950 drive this home. I had one before and it was very nice, even in standard spec.

Its not diesel like the ad says . .
Its 2.2 petrol
Would make a great first car .. did you try and get an insurance quote?

Moneymaker · 28-12-2013 09:02PM

He wouldn't get one.

I'm 27 and been driving 5 years and I bet i'd get an absurd quote for it even.

either the seller is completely clueless on all things BMW and bought it himself thinking it was a genuine diesel powered 520i

uu(i meaning petrol in bmw talk) who previously bought off someone who swapped original 520i engine for a diesel and didnt declare or register as such.

or

seller knows well what hes flogging, could have carried out the dodgy engine swap himself and attempting to cash in on some poor eejit who could buy it thinking it a decent standard diesel 5er.

either way, personally I would avoid like the plague doesnt make good bangernomic's sense to me: lack of originality and a potential dodgy undeclared and unregistered engine swap has me completely turned off.

however as a banger off road drift/diff messing car if you got him down to half price then maybe...
