For example, my own 2000 V70 cost me £550 from a dealer 7 years ago, around 5-6000 SEK in your money.

Hi John,
Sorry, on the slow answer
I'm only looking at the very bottom of the market, trying to find a something that has minimal body rust, no major mechanical faults, and has still half a year left until the next yearly safety check (MOT?). I'm looking to pay 15000 SEK (1100 sterling) for that. I do see the same models advertised for double or more, but maybe there is probably. something extra special about them: restored or hi-spec motor maybe.
I do know that 145s and 245s are getting good prices now. I sold a straight and clean 245 10 years ago for 5000 SEK, and it'd get 20000 SEK now, but that's probably it becoming a classic model.
I think average v50s are going for as little as 20000 SEK and more. Less than that then there is probably something more major that needs fixing.
Again, I don't know the market very well, but that's what I kinda see via my own few touch points.
(excuse any misspelling I hate writing on my phone)
