Volvo 940S Estate 2.0 Ltr Auto. Good condition. SOLD

Cars that Refuse to Die
Volvo's (Rear-Wheel-Drive Ones)

A 25 year old true classic that is still good for another 20 years.
This is a solid car with extremely low miles, starts first time and drives like a dream.
There are no nasty clonks or rattles.

Volvo 940 S Estate 2. 0Ltr. 1993 ( automatic)( non Turbo)
First Registered 13 12 1993 ( 1986cc)

This is a Genuine Sale and a very genuine car

Just had New Front Discs, Pads, disc Back Plate, New Flexy Hoses, New Anti Roll bar bushes and New Drop links
New rear tailgate struts so the tailgate stays up when opened.

New wiper Blades all round

Just sent the speedo off for repair to Autotronics, it had the normal Volvo Fault: One day it works the next it doesn't.
When it comes back it will be working 100% and the good thing is the fault will not reoccur again as new components are being fitted.
The fault was diagnosed as Shorted capacitors inside speedo and corrosion on the printed circuit board. Also a drive motor needed to be replaced.
OK THE SPEEDO IS BACK AND WORKING 100% AND HAS A 24 MONTH WARRANTY SHOULD THE SAME FAULT REOCCUR.
So not many Volvo's for sale with that guarantee.!
I just hate things that aren't right, thats why I spent £150 on having the speedo fixed. If I was buying it I'd want fixed and Im guessing so would you too. So there you are, Thats why I fixed it.!

Check whats available then compare it to this one.......
I'm sure you won't find a better one for the money.!


The 940 'S' Estate's are becoming difficult to find in good condition and they are rapidly gaining in true classic status.

This Car starts, drives, handles and brakes just as it should and I would describe it as a good example of a future classic

This is a very practical and tidy Volvo 940, only a small paint blister on one of the rear doors.
( nothing to worry about, after all its an old car and not 25 grands worth.)

MOT'd till May 2018

The cam belt has been replaced within the last 3000 miles.(Receipt to prove)

On 1993 & models prior, replace timing belt every 50, 000 miles.
On 1994-98 models, replace belt & tensioner every 70, 000 miles.
(Don't let anyone tell you any different)

Engine oil, Oil Filter and Air Filter replaced with new items.
Engine Breather cleaned and new Oil Flame Trap Breather Kit fitted

This is not a high mileage car by todays standards having covered 158K, but when you divide that by it's 24 years it works out at 6, 500 miles a year which is well below average.

Sorry no Main Dealer history with this car, just receipts for the usual service items
but I am always more interested in how it is now rather than how it was 10 years ago.

The headlining is good and NOT sagging.

The Seats both back and front are all OK with NO marks or holes or cigarette burns on them.

The door cards are all OK with NO wrinkling.

The top of the dash is perfect with NO cracking from the sun.

The windscreen is free of cracks.

The headlights are 100% with NO rust in any of the lenses.

The carpets are in good condition.

The heater works as it should and the fan works on all 4 settings

The radio works and the radio code is present

Electric windows on the front doors
Manual wind up windows on the rear doors

The rear load area of the car is also nice and clean.
it's even got all the spanners in the tool kit, no original gloves but Hey! I've put a pair of HD Nitrile Disposable Gloves in there.

The car does have a tow bar fitted and the electrical socket works just fine.

The car itself does have the odd mark here and there commensurate with its age, but nothing that detracts from the look of the car.

This car does NOT have a sun roof so no worries about water leaking in.

Fuel wise it will return 28/ 30 MPG around town without trying............ more on a long run..
What else can I say These are becoming very collectable nowadays especially as there is very little electronics
on these cars so not much to go wrong.............. I've never seen one stranded on the side of the motorway.

No sensors watching sensors if you know what I mean on this car, they are just a lovely drive around town and can hold their own on the motorway sitting at the legal limit all day long.

All the Dash lights are working correctly and they all go out as they should.

The engine fires up as it should.

So there you have it, a cheap reliable old 940 that will last a good few years.

They don't make cars like this any more.
No warnings lights on the dash, no knocking sounds, proper smooth drive, perfect engine and gearbox.

Built to last, just keep the oil and filter changed, That's the only mechanic you'll ever need


This car is North of the line in Ayrshire, Scotland.
Nearest train station is AYR

When we arrived at the Volvo stand, I saw the 1800 ES on display and I immediately fell ...

The Volvo Amazon is for me one of the best classic Volvos. It is a very easy classic to live with, great looks and simple robust mechanics. As with most classic cars from this time period, you just have to find one that is rust free. Exterior: If you are looking at this car, there is a very big chance that you just ...
