  • Wanted: Any roadworthy volvo that is RWD and manual, located in Brisbane

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I have mainly created an account to find a cheap RWD as I have had no luck on gumtree or carsales finding anything of the sort. My price range is around $6000, located in Brisbane. If anyone has anything to offer please PM me and I would love to have a look.

Honestly I would give up, buy a good autotragique (much cheaper and plenty around) and convert to manual

I have two manuals but they took me years to find so I'll be hanging onto those

Doesn't necessarily tick the roadworthy box but one is manual.

    Does it at least start and run?

      You will have to talk with the person that posted the ad.

      Going by recent prices you may have to spend more to get one with nothing needing done.

      Cheap means plenty of work to do. If you can do it yourself the cost of parts add up and you will be chasing issues later even if it passed inspection.

      You could be lucky and score one like @carnut222 just sold, he did all the little fiddly things but sold it cheap...

      Not my vehicles, just spied them on gumtree. The ad does say that they run.
