If it is really mint, I strangely really want it! I love 'em, maybe something to do with the first car I remember well being my parents 740. £2k might be a bit steap though.

I learnt to drive in one of those!

Sounds like a really lovely example of an unexciting model, but I don't think it is worth that money.

£1,000 is good value, and £1,500 is tops, in my humble opinion of course.

It would have to be the 2.3 version to make it for me.

The ad states one fastidious company owner, an undertaker I would think.

good grief that's nearly double what it's worth

Mint or not, it looks st

Ha neither of us. My brother did crash the next volvo into the house though. Then I did the same with the 306.

I owned one of these for a while last year. Exact same model only in red. Mint with no rust. Milage was high at 150k but still, it ran spot on and was a great car. Couldn't even get £400 for it with MOT and Tax. Good luck to him.

IMO it's a toughy - if it really is totally immaculate as the vender describes it will be difficult to gauge a good price for it as there cannot be many in that condition and as its not rare or particularly desirable it's hard to know what someone would pay for a "perfect" example. I expect he is just testing the water.

Sorry, I just don't get it. Surely there are better things to spend £2k on?

It's been on the market for months - I kind of like it but the ones that sell seem to be much cheaper. I also already have a perfectly good Volvo so buying it at any price would seem a little odd (except on this forum)
