Look at http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/used-prices/Valuation.aspx?deriv=12881&plate=59 to see what these cars are worth.

This is a solid car and reliable and built to last.  I bought it just over a year ago, as I have neck and back problems and it is just about one of the most comfortable cars to drive.  It has had no expense spared on it, belts, pretensioners, servicing generally done by a Volvo specialist.  I had the T5 wheels put on it, then had them refurbished (still under guarantee).  I can't cope without my iPod so had a Hardon Kardon pro unit installed, so I could keep the original premium sound system that comes with the car - you still have radio, cassettes, CD's and you can input iPods (or other mp3 players) and there is an aux so you can also connect DVD players or similar (this was perfect when we drove the car through France last year with two kids).

The car looks good, drives good and has the advantage of being a diesel automatic - I get 40Mpg out of it - my wife gets slightly less so its all in how you drive it.

When I bought it, it was chipped (190Bhp) and I was getting almost 50Mpg out of it ( I didn't realise that the chip device made that type of difference) but recently while I was having the pump timing done, it was disconnected and left dangling down - I didn't realise and drove for a few miles trailing under the car so need to get a new cable (too busy).  The company have said I can have it for £35 so its not expensive.

Bad points

Not a lot really.  Last year it was grazed in a carpark and had a couple of stone chips so I sanded them down, filled etc and had the paint matched.  I started spraying the bonnet and realised the match was too dark.  I haven't had chance to go and get it changed.   I'll try and photo and upload.  Therefore there is a slightly darker area on the bonnet and a small area on the bumper which is sanded and filled - but I did not bother to spray.

There are a couple of marks in the carpet under the rear extra 2 seats.

Other than that - its a great car for its year and reserve.

I cannot afford to give this away, however have set the reserve at way less than Parkers.co.uk reccon its worth.  Please feel free to come and look BEFORE you bid as I don't expect people to come after the auction and try to haggle.

I'm 8 miles off J16 of the M6 and really easy to come and view.

I'd like to sell this as I am moving abroad and need a left hand drive.  No swaps allowed on Ebay, however if you have a LHD Auto estate/mpv/suv etc I would be interested in buying yours and you buying mine.

This car is listed locally and on swapz sites so I reserve the right to remove from auction at any time.

No bidders with less than  5 positive feedbacks without contacting me first.

£200 Deposit within 24 hours of auction

No shipping to Nigeria etc

Cash preferred - any other payment will require autorisation and clearing through bank system 

before the vehicle can be removed. You'll see by my feedback that I am a genuine Ebayer - 

but have also had virtually every scam attempted and am no mug!  

Only bid if you intend to buy and Pay.
