VOLVO 1989 'G' Reg, 760 GLE.
4dr Saloon with the 2.8 litre V6 (6cylinder engine).
Automatic gearbox, electric everything!
(All electrics work fine aside from A/C which needs re-gassing)
Very smooth and very relaxed car, always with plenty of power to hand for
any purpose.

Silver/grey metallic paint, black leather interior, virtually immaculate
inside and very good condition outside (one or two penny-sized dings). Some
service history, current mileage 119500miles. V5 missing, but replacement is
free for new owner on application at Post Office. Short MOT (end of Nov'04)
and Tax (end of Oct'04) owing to the fact that I have to get rid of the car
given new insurance costs.

Great car, a shame to let it go, but since I acquired a speeding fine last
year, the insurance on it for me has shot up - 21 year old driver with 3
points does not make for a good combination on a group16 car!

Pictures are available on request. Email with any questions.
Any offer towards £400/450 will secure, P/X would be considered, or straight
exchange for smaller car (Cavalier sort of size - 2.0l engine max!) of
similar or lesser value.

Car is available to view in Sutton, Surrey (or Epsom) - if you wish to come
take a look round it, email me and I will provide you my contact number.

Many thanks,
Wes.

Wrong. 19quid from DVLA and it'll take 6 weeks. Probably
after the tax runs out.

With that mileage, only 6 weeks MOT and a missing V5 it's worth scrap
value only.

HTH.

What are you on mate? 120k miles is just breaking the car in... my other
Volvo has 280k on it, same age, just the 740 equivelant with the smaller 2.3
engine.

120k is nothing on this or any other Volvo, not with a service history
listing major and/or minor service with all the main pointers to look for at
every 6month interval up until the last 12months.

"you're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa" - that is
rubbish. They are poorly constructed, unreliable 'dozy' engines. I've had
two different alfas (company cars) and test driven 6 others and they have
all been tat. Regardless of age, stage, etc. Even brand new they feel like
you're piloting a giant dog **** on traintracks.

That is, of course, IMHO.

That's not the point. It doesn't matter if it's 'just broken in' or not
- it's still 120k miles. Private buyers don't like 6 figure mileage.

120k is nothing on this or any other Volvo, not with a service history
listing major and/or minor service with all the main pointers to look for at
every 6month interval up until the last 12months.

If it's so good, then you'd put it through an MOT, with 12 months ticket
people would be willing to take a gamble on it. Without a ticket, or
only a short ticket, an old car is worth exactly what the scrappy will
pay for it as scrap.

Of course a ****e old Volvo 7 series is positively race-like in it's
performance and handling.

Face it, you're trying to sell a worthless heap of scrap. Get a 12 month
MOT on it, and someone may well be willing to buy it. As I said, with
only 6 weeks ticket on it, it's worth an absolute max. of £100.

Just looked, and it clearly states that there's a £19 fee payable. Also,
the car can't be taxed until the duplicate document has arrived.

Do your homework.

If you'd done yours when you were 12 then you would know how to read.
That site quite clearly states a fee of 19 quid is payable for a lost
V5. From personal experience I can tell you it's a 6 week wait.

Oh and I sold a G reg 760GLE saloon a few mths ago for 120quid.

Remind me, were you saying the cars are **** or that's what you're full of

The cars are... just for those of you so stupid you need it reiterated so
that it is blindingly obvious. God, it's like talking to a group of
Americans.

However, no fee is applicable if:
a.. you are using the existing registration document/certificate to notify
changes.
b.. you are the new keeper and the previous keeper has failed to notify
DVLA of the change. You must be in possession of the New keeper's Supplement
(green section) of the Registration Document/Certificate and send it to DVLA
with the V62 application form.
Take careful note of the second point. Thankyou, please call again. Did
this in the past with two cars I purchased a couple of years ago.
