    A set of 17" Tethys alloys should sort that out nicely.
    They're rear wheel or all wheel drive?

    Nah, just front wheel drive. Plenty of horses but no good through the front wheels :)

    Still a bargain though...

    Nah, front (edit: I see unkel got there before me). The last RWD Volvo bowed out in 1998 unfortunately.

    It's a shame, as a re-map would easily see 300bhp on these. Many lads in the UK do it and have no complaints, although it would be best to probably fit a Quaife diff.

    I wonder what's up with it...looks good though! Not the best of colours, but still.

    2001 Alfa 147 with low miles and 2 years worth of NCT for 1300 asking.

    Yeah I like them, but in a nice colour with the 17" wheels, and three door. Lovely cars to drive.

    Bonnet gaps, door colour, rear bumper damage, rear seat and rest wear all make it look shagged and possibly more than 78k (to me :) )

    I'm going to be on the look out for something soon, I reckon. I'm bored of the estate and everyone knowing who I am and where I am at any given time, lol.

    The C220 is appealing to me, but I'm open to idea's suggestions.

    I hate French and Jap cars, so it will be either Audi, Mercedes, Bmw or Vw.

    I'm open to estates more than anything else, and preferably diesel... I may have to tip over the bangernomics budget though...

    Even so. At 2.5k a perfect '03 saloon would be a bargain. Under 2k means the seller is an eejit. Buy it and make yourself the quickest €500 ever :)

    Or are you still bluffing? ;)

    But it's 272bhp in a Volvo S80...:D

    In all seriousness though it's 5 months out of tax and has only 4 months NCT. And it has high tax and it's 11 years old.. ;)

    So you reckon they should be asking how much for it?
    I wouldn't be bothered if it was never taxed to be honest.

    I take your point, although a bit of negotiating down to nearer the thousand mark should cover it.

    These are known to be troublesome, so you'd probably need to be brave as well.

    I mean tax is €1200 for the year. That's alot of money! But that's not the main issue for me really. For me it's an 11 year old thirsty automatic Volvo with only 4 months NCT left on it. I'm a big Volvo fan alright but not this one I'm afraid.
