What d'ya reckon it's worth...?

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? Couple of pictures here: What do you think then? TIA Matt

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!

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.

[QUOTE=mraldonnelly]Matt, dude, how big's the freakin' pushchair? [/QUOTE] 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!) Matt

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!
