Last week I bought an S60 D5 SE auto with 93k miles for £900 from BCA. Lovely car with good service history and came ready dented with scrapes down both sides - hence the price!

Drives fine though and gearbox is good and everything else works as it should.

This week I changed the belts, idlers and tensioners and I've now done 300 miles and averaged 57mpg.

Superb car and no worries about leaving it anywhere! All I need now are some smaller wheels - 17 in with low profile are pretty uncomfortable unless on motorways.

But as you indicate prices are all over the place. I saw a similar one near me for sale this week for £2500 and it had similar dents to mine!

Just a few months ago I saw a perfect one go at BCA for £900 and only 80k miles which then appeared at a garage for £3k or thereabouts. So I think you need to see what's being asked for similar cars near you to get a better idea of what to ask.

Good luck with your sale.
