The previous owners kept a handwritten file in which everything but actually everything was kept

Rightfully called a semi classic that 440 out of 89 !! This 440 2nd owner (son 1st owner) has together with his father 440 perhaps a little too much pampered. He's just about perfect and is in top condition. Okay a few spots updated (nicely done) with a brush and a crack in a shaft case is all I've found so far. I also get a lot of compliments about the condition of the car.

The previous owners kept a handwritten file in which everything but actually everything was kept. of major repairs to the change of the battery of the afstanbediening of the alarm. The previous owner then took almost tears in his eyes farewell. He had three Volvos at that time, 2x V40 (one of his deceased father) and 1 V40 T4 this was "his" car.

A little bitter than it was a few days to read an email from him the night before had an accident with his T4 and the total loss was (presumably), and that he had something to sell 440 early.

My 440 is already become a victim of a marten. The 2nd night he watched my 440 even better and his signature left behind: a few hefty pull out the insulation coating under the hood, an air hose and tasted several times the insulation of the coolant hose. Fortunately only bite marks and his nails so after wiping the block and replace the hose can drive again. Just to be sure, but bought an anti marten device. (ultrasound)
so do not come back this or friends.

So far so than satisfied, even on consumption so far> 1:12 and for a car that has been driven more than quiet the last year. The semi-antique car insurance from less than € 10, - a nice bonus (unfortunately after 2 weeks a letter of assurance that the semi oltimerverzekering was geanuleerd, without giving a reason Ds drove almost 2 weeks uninsured around ...... ?!?!) the "normal" insurance costs 11 -

Oja Fiesta I also, i want to use the drive for sunny days and around the house. At least when I come to it, the kids he also suits very well !!

A little over 440, these cars have a very low residual noticed me. I got this for € 600, - bought and that has seen the state of the car a real bargain! believe me in my quest for a 440 I watched the necessary and which were much worse (and more expensive) than this.
still satisfied!The Fiesta is soon ingevlooid by my niece and now no longer my car but hers! About 440 I can costs be: still very satisfied! Meanwhile driven a few thousand km, and no problems.

But ... the fact remains for me one for small car. And son who is a DJ, so carry a lot of stuff, and I do a lot of chores, so actually a station necessity rather than a desire. Unfortunately, it remains for the time being and with desire, because goodbye to this 440 is short "stupid". A residual value, the 440 does not trade or sell so do not pay.

My son will soon be driving lessons so that he might then this car can go away and in due course I still am going to buy a larger drive.

Had it stay nice and cheap driving in the 440.
total loss.....Well then come to take the day of farewell ..... in a parking garage at the hospital for the total barrier loosely drove to the front! a large range rover sport drove me to the exit. When the barrier was the driver at the hoddelen with his card and suddenly I saw his reverse lights to go. Before I'll respond, he stepped on the gas and drove the front vd 440 in ruins .... he forgot to pay his ticket and arrived at the barrier behind. Me he had not seen, he said. Damage allow recording and yes more than 1500, - damage and with a current market value of a cheap bike than you know. Even on the demolition bought some new components such as headlight, grill etc and again made oogelijk. But the fun is starting. Eventually sold for a tidy sum. And started looking for a large estate.
