1991 Volvo 340 1.4 petrol review from UK and Ireland
"If your looking for a very cheap car, look for a volvo 340, there great value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battary has gone flat if not used over a period of time.
The exhaust pipe has come off because of bad roads.
The car also has a lot of rust on the bonnet, and boot, and is starting to rust around the wheel arches.
General comments?
The car maybe 12 years old, and have 80,000 miles on the clock. But after reading about a 1978 volvo 343 that has 248,000 miles on the clock, I am going to try getting another 13 years out of the car because at the moment the car drives like new, only thing is, it has a thirsty engine, and heavy steering.
