My S70 is gonna have to go I'm afraid.

As much as I love it, the boot just ain't big enough for the bl**dy pushchair and all the junk that goes with it. I think I'm going to look around for a V70 D5 (not sure how much I have to spend yet, trying to convince the Mrs let me have another T5 too!). I have managed to blag a pool car from work for the time it takes me to find something!

So, the question is; What is it worth?

Details are:

S70 T5 CD (standard)
1997 P
88,000 miles
Manual
Dark metallic blue
FVSH
Leather/suede (alcantara?) interior
MOT 'til end of April

Negative points:

- The wheels are like the non-T5 AWD ones (see picture)
- The aircon seemed to be temperamental last summer

Have I missed anything?

What do you think then?

TIA

Matt, i reckon id get 3k probably for mine, but mines an R plate with 74k on the clock, and it aint a CD. Soooo, I think you should get 3.5k no problem, BUT, the market is crap at the mo, and them alloys :slap: DOH!

Matt, dude, how big's the freakin' pushchair?

When my daughter was born I was astounded at the amount of stuff I needed to take just for a day out. Going anywhere for the day was like moving house. Managed to fit it all in an 854 though, even for weekends away.

Buy a smaller pushchair mate - DON'T get rid of a T5 to accomodate a huge pushchair - you'll regret it, you know you will.

Put it on the roof dont sell the car for the sake of a pushchair the market really is crap at the moment and you will struggle to get much for it.

It's massive! Disc brake, adjustable suspension... You wouldn't believe it mate!

To be honest, I have changed jobs recently too and my annual mileage is going to jump from about 10k to about 30k and I'm going to be permanently skint if I do that in the T5! (Hence looking for a D5, well atleast when I'm feeling sensible!)

Your car's very similar to mine apart from the lighter colour interior and you have slightly more miles than mine.
I paid £3.5K in November for mine via fleabay.

Good look if you really have to sell it!

I agree mate - it's the wife. What can I say! In fairness the quickest way to walk into the town where we are is across a field and along a riverside path, so it's well suited to that!
