My Volvo V70 R - whats it worth ?

[SexyBoy]

Hello, i bought my Volvo V70 R in September mainly to get me through the winter months as i work in a bit of a remote area - and sods law we have had no snow to talk of at all, not even used my new snow shovel lol...anyway i was just wondering what you guys thought it may be worth as i'm thinking of getting a sportier hot hatch type for summer fun.

It is a 2003 model in Silver, beige leather, gear tronic, 135000, upgraded angle gear, satnav/phone kit in dash, ice cold air con, electric roof, xenon lights, professional tints, newly powdercoated 17in R alloys, non smoker car, dog guard, boot liner, only 2 previous owners, FSH up to 99000, timing belt next due 186000 or august 2016, i would say the car is 8 out of 10 for condition given its going on 9 yrs old or so.

Give me some advice guys on a price, thanks!

How much did you pay for it? Or did you pick her up on the cheap?

The market at the moment is very funny.

the one below is on 105k, but has not got the comms pack or sat-nav.

Yeah but orange leather and can't even be bothered to balance the wheel? Looks like someone who don't care to me or there is another reason it vibes at speed? bent wheel maybe?

[Chad]

some people like orange leather..... just like the saffy P1's.

It was just an indication of price, not implying his car worth less or anything mate..

Vibes could be balancing, bushes, bent wheel.??? Dont know??

Sorry, wasnt supposed to come across as picking holes.

Orange leather may be liked by some, but its one of those things that narrows the selection of buyers. If you want orange great, but most people dont and that usually reflects in the price.

Any seller who puts on that the wheels need balancing is up to something in my books and I'd walk away, its not expensive, time consuming or difficult to get them done so i would suspect an issue elsewhere and the wheel balance is being blamed.

None of that helps the OP I admit. lol, sorry again for the hijack.

get on ebay look up similar cars and go to the section for stuff that sold recently, that will give you an idea what they are selling for rather than what people are asking for them.

£3500 +/- a few quid seems to be a reasonable figure for it's condition.

Not really , i wanted manual but in the end i went for the angle gear piece of mind and comms pack option though, although i was happy with the price i paid.

If you get what you payed for it you will have made a profit.
