£140.00 SAVES IT FROM THE SCRAPPY MOT ENDS 13TH MARCH SO HURRY

[v8volvo]

140 pounds???? That's what, 300 bucks, for a nice late-model turbodiesel wagon in running and driving condition? With a manual transmission? And hydraulic lifters?? And you're thinking about scrapping it?????????

These cars are pretty rare. It hurts me every time I see one get crushed, especially a nice red wagon with a manual gearbox. Somebody save it....!

How much to send it to Seattle, WA? :eek: :D

[whatarascal]

I am sorry too.
But its not cost effective to keep it,
I have just bought an 89 740td estate with a full service history no expense spared it was purchase new by a doctor and kept lovingly for 20 odd years.
It cost me £690 with tax and mot untill August.
I was planning on spending more than that on the 940.
Yes it is a shame

Are you kidding me?? There HAS to be someone over there that would want it for that price!!!! I paid $1500 for my 1984 pile!!!!! Why couldn't I find a deal like this??!!!!!! ARRGGGG!!!!

That paint is salvageable with a little wax and some elbow grease.

He should be proud of himself

[v8volvo]

Did you find a buyer for the red one, or is it still for sale/headed for the scrap yard??

[whatarascal]

One of the forum members bought it "kinza0" he is happy with it seems to think it will fly through mot.
I realy am pleased it hasnt gone for scrap.

What most of our friends on this side of the pond don't understand about the panic sale, is the rigorous structure of the British MOT vehicle test. It's not like here where even in California where they threaten you with a bunch, but then if it's too much you get exemptions. Over there if the inspector goes after you with a big pen EVERYTHING on that list HAS to be repaired and certified or that car doesn't see pavement, period!
THings we wouldn't even look twice at, will ground a car. Excessive surface rust on a brake backing plate , picky stuff like that that don't even effect safety or performance can shut you down. It's not near as rough as the Japanese inspection, but it's still silly rough.
