bruno22rf Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 OK - so about 5 months ago I bought an ancient Volvo V70 estate, just for carrying the dogs around - I tend to buy anything suitable with 12 months ticket then scrap it once it fails it's MOT. This Volvo is a heap, the paint has faded and the interior is disgusting but here's my problem.... Why do people keep asking me how much I want for it? Honestly - 3 different strangers in the last 2 months - anyone know something about these that I don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Does it have a potential personal number plate by any chance? Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 They are getting rare and potentially classic. What year is it. I had a V40 and rue the day I got rid because today it would be worth money. Great motors for hauling stuff, dogs included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNKS Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Is it the one with a galvanised chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 V70 of a certain spec are getting a bit cult but V40 what year? The early ones were a joint venture with Mitsubishi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Mines the 2.0ltr turbo 1999. Engine pulls like a train and she is the best car I've ever owned for fuel, pretty sure she's nearly 40mpg - bodywork is ,er, rough.

Pistol p Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Volvos don’t die. They become donors for other Volvo’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
