Best sub £1k shed for the coming winter....
Discussion
Maybe not the best, but maybe best value?!
Not long ago I was at a car auction and a 1991 volvo 240 estate with 12 months MOT came up with no reserve. 1 owner since new and FSH , plus looked pretty tidy! (Came from a main dealer, unwanted trade in I guess). It went for just £160!
Surely 'shedding' doesn't get much better? Rwd and indestructible, sell in the spring to a banger racer or for scrap and you've probably seen your money back!

You do know that your not obliged to sell it for scrap/to a banger racer.Not long ago I was at a car auction and a 1991 volvo 240 estate with 12 months MOT came up with no reserve. 1 owner since new and FSH , plus looked pretty tidy!

If the cars a genuinely nice example then either keep it - or try to sell through a Volvo forum or the like to someone whose into these cars.
My take - if shes good enough for the winter and still works in spring - then keep driving the damn thing - at least its different to most of tbe boring modern cars.
Just my opinion - would be a shame to see it go to scrap if its still working well

Blimey. That is cheap. If the mileage is moderately sensible it is the kind of thing a 240 enthusiast will pay £2k for. There would be a *lot* of profit in that for whoever bought it. Usually cars like that fetch serious money at auction.Not long ago I was at a car auction and a 1991 volvo 240 estate with 12 months MOT came up with no reserve. 1 owner since new and FSH , plus looked pretty tidy!

On sale for £995.
Hell, you could weigh it in for £300 if it all goes wrong.
