WTB: 740 Wagon

CamZH

Not after anything fancy.
Would prefer newer than '86

The budget isnt large..

Ex850R

Check Gumtree in different states individually?
Has Volvrek got anything at all?
Check Volvovic classifieds.

You can se the location of gumtree to australia to search the whole country or the bit after the r in the URL is the radius you set in the drop down so you can set that to your magic distance.

www.gumtree.com.au/s-cars-vans-utes/melbourne-airport-melbourne/c18320l3001499r1500

Has a radius of 1500

Vol-rek has a 740 16 valve wagon that's going to be wrecked but the only thing that's wrong with it is the main fuel pump died, you could probably give mark a call to see if he'll sell it ?

Ex850R

I knew @Darc would come through for us!!
Any more info Darc? Colour etc,has it been up on here the last week or two or did I see it on eBay?

CamZH

I've been doing the rounds of Gumtree, but most of them seem well over priced (considering what I sold my 850R for)

I'm keen to know more about this one Darc, but being interstate and broken makes it either a fly in and fix it, or transporter job. neither of which are pleasant prospects.

Who's Mark ?
And how do I contact him?
Googling Vol-rek results in nothing useful

Is this the same as Vol-rek ?

AshDVS

Yes.

egads (she/her)

Yup, it is volvrek btw.

CamZH

riiight.
might try and give them a call this arvo.

Ex850R

Call Mark.

CamZH

alright,
Just spoke with Mark, the 16V 740 has already been attacked and has plenty of bits missing.
He says there is a 940 with ~430,000km available...
so the search continues.

I know it is a fair hike, but the bloke in toowoomba that @egads bought his145 from has a tidy looking '89 740 wagon for sale. I reckon you would get it for under a grand, probably less.

egads (she/her)

Approx $600 depot to depot from similar talk on pf.

CamZH

$600 for transport ?
while for something decent that might be worth while, but in the market i'm looking at thats a good chuck of dosh that would be better spent on the car itself.

I've found this one on CarSales, which looks the goods.
i think he's asking WAY too much, its now out of rego and he's ok to sell it sans camping gear.
Have to talk to the guy a bit more, but been too busy doing other things
