Wobbly

I've been smitten by the V90 and am thinking of selling my current car. I'd like to gauge interest to see if I can make the numbers work.
I ordered this car new as a company car (registered 29 July 2013) and subsequently bought it from my employers leasing company. Manufacturer warranty expired in July, but there is a Leaseplan guarantee warranty scheme in place until 29 July 2017. It seems to cover lots, more so than a typical reseller warranty. That's a big part in my thinking - selling the car with a warranty is obviously a better proposition.
The spec: It's painted in Seashell, with the beige leather/black carpets interior G10B.
Sunroof
DSP
Front parking sensors,
Reverse camera,
Volvo detachable towbar,
Premium sound,
Family pack,
Winter pack, with the active / bendy Xenons
Rear seat entertainment 2,
Modern wood centre panel,
Self levelling suspension,
Privacy glass,
Heated windscreen( I can't remember what's standard or not).
18" Zephyrus wheels (no spare). Tyres are good (fronts were replaced recently - all Conti's). No dings on the alloys.
The car also has the front bumper bar that Volvo sell as part of the styling kit.
I also have a set of Volvo 17 inch alloys (they're a 6 spoke design that I can't see on the Volvo website) with the Pirelli scorpion winter tyres on - they wouldn't need to be part of the sale as I could easily sell them on. Tyres have lots of tread and alloys are undamaged.
Mileage is currently 46.5k, everything serviced by Volvo.
The condition of the car is very good - it gets pampered. The leather is in generally good, clean condition - I treat it a couple of times per year. There is, however, 1 small area of damage where something caught the read door armrest - it's in a fairly inconspicuous place and is smaller than a 5p piece.
There's also 1 small parking ding quite low down on the door - again, smaller than a 5p. Other than that it's a very tidy car - I doubt it's perfect but suspect a dealer would wash it and put it on a forecourt.
Volvo dealer has also fitted the Tom Tom 510 option because my wife has the same unit (and hates Volvo's sat nav). It's mounted to the bottom of the A pillar and could be removed easily enough, but it's a nice addition - I now use it instead of Volvo's. The traffic is much better.
If I've forgotten anything about the spec I'll add it.
Extras that I'd throw in are the folding boot mat, there are storage nets fitted to both sides of the boot (really handy, those), and a Bury System 9 car kit fitted using a no drill dash bracket (by a good auto electrician) . Charges your phone via an interchangeable cradle (I probably have most iPhone cradles). I also have the latest version of the booster seat covers with backrest and head restraint cover. Tire's a pair of Thule Edge roof bars too. oh.. and the sunglasses holder.
I'd like £22k for the car - do you think I'd get it?
