I'm selling the Volvo I bought off Si last year, as I'm off to Abu Dhabi next week, and am gonna treat myself to a posher daily hack when I get back. BMW M3 
Good bits:
1996 'P' reg Volvo V40 in metallic Silver.
115bhp 1.8SE
Heated seats
Headlight washers
Heated electric mirrors
Electric tilt & slide sunroof
Eletric front windows,
Cruise control,
Electronic trip computer
100k miles,
Towbar with electrics
MOT til June 09
Tax til July 09
Before I bought it, Si had replaced both rear springs and shocks.
He also rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder and replaced the shift linkage bushes, and replaced one of the rear handbrake cables.
I had it serviced 5k miles ago, new oil, all filters (fuel, oil, air), spark plugs & cambelt.
Bad bits:
There's a hole in the side bolster of the driver's seat - no idea why, was there when I got it.
The bonnet has a few scuffs and dents from me putting tools etc on.
There is a dent in the rear, with matching damage to the bumper, but this is currently fixed with gaffer tape, as you can see from the pics, its not a big deal
I think either one for the engine mounts is a bit tired, or one of the front wishbone bushes is a bit past it - occaisonally manifests itself as judder when you pull off. However, received no note of anything on the MOT.
The drivers door doesn't lock with the key, so you have to push the button down, but it unlocks no probs with the key, as does the boot & passenger door.
I'm after £500 for a quick, hassle & idiot free sale
So basically it's a faithful load lugger with a few cosmetic issues. Then again, it's cheap, and reliable - takes everything I can throw at it - It's carried engines, gearboxes, intercoolers and all my work tools without breaking a sweat.
Car is located just outside Warwick in the Midlands, CV35
