For what it's worth, I viewed this car today. Lovely old thing, my only caveat being it does have a few marks and scratches here and there and at least one ding I saw, passenger side rear if I remember. I thought there was a slight paint mismatch between rear bumper and rear quarter but this may have been the light. Lovely interior clearly validates miles. Owner has not driven car far but knew it's oily bits inside out. I would grade it's condition a solid b plus not an a for the above reasons. A nice honest car for which I would have handed over around £2k. I never made an offer as I felt we would be way to far apart. Current owner is knowledgeable, honest Volvo man who did not try to dress anything up and was quite honest about faults. Had this been a diesel or a t5, value would be closer to correct. Remember, all this is only my opinion, and I am a skinflint when it comes to buying cars. Good luck with sale to owner, and it was nice meeting you, Gbn
