i know what you are saying.
ive seen volvo s70 t5`s on ebay and other places for under £1k. but to tell you the truth, this car to me is worth far more than £1k. ive been using bangers as my main daily runabout, and when theyve gone wrong, me needing a car everyday, ive had to use the t5 as a backup car.
although im skint, £1000 quid will go nowhere to me, and if my bangers fail again, i cant take the dogs on the bus to get about.

so really, id rather keep it, ive got receipts over £3000 for repairs and replacement parts.

but you never know, someone else with another dog who does the same job might snap it out of my hands for £1950. if they dont, ill be happy to let it stand in my mams garage for the next 5 or 10 years, just taking out out for its mot every may.

its costing me nothing keeping it garaged, so i am not loosing out on it by keeping it.

i am however, loosing out on it if i sell it. and im pretty sure ill regret it if i sell it for peanuts.

as you all know, volvos are alot of car for little money, alot of people dont know this until theyve owned one.

you can get a volvo s70 1997 t5 for about 700 quid ive seen on ebay, but they are not appealing to many people.

so, by wanting just under £2k will soothe the pain and i wont regret it as much.

to me, its worth the same value of a new car, such as a ford or vauxhall. cos ive got the reliability to get from a to b and back.

some people think if they pay more for a car they get a better car, i dont think this.

i would describe a "better" car, or a "good" car is a car which serves it purpose, this one to me has and i know it still will, without being a money pit.

so there you have it guys, it can stay advertised till the cows come home, it doent matter to me.

this car isnt price to sell !!
