Default Authentic Volvo V70 Bike Rack (tow bar) for 4 bikes

I am looking to sell a bike rack for 4 bikes that is mounted on the tow bar of your volvo (I have a V70). It was supplied by volvo and has been used twice. New it costs about £ 450 - 500.00 (as I had the tow bar mounted as well I do not have the exact price), so am looking for a reasonable offer. I am looking to sell the car so wanted to make sure I could also sell the extras I purchased.

As much as that ?

From experience , no one is remotely interested if the bike rack has a Volvo sticker on it and as such you were prepared to pay a ludicrous amount to buy it in the first place.

Loads of aftermarket units fit the bill just as well.

I paid £69 NEW and delivered for my THULE tow bar mounted multiple bike rack.

£80 that the lunatic from Wakefield offered you was more than reasonable, even verging on generous.

See how long you have it for before you get a substantially better offer.

Not trying to be confrontational, more entirely realistic.

Good Luck with the sale

£85 was a very generous offer.

About what I would have offered.

Out of interest, what would you consider a reasonable offer OP.

I thought £85.00 was a lot of money for a used bike rack ..Volvo badged or not

I would have thought £50 odd quid plus postage would have been closer to the mark in my opinion.

Never understand why people nearly always seem to think that used kit is worth figures that resemble phone numbers!
