Hi mate.

TBH with you based on my circumstances it would be pretty expensive to fuel and insure.

What I have done though is posted your car on my Facebook in the hope I get some interest on it.

I decided to break my C70 t5 with 110k miles and a full Volvo service history as i think it might be worth more in parts!

It's very sad as it is a great car and the engine has a new timing belt kit as well!

I am struggling to get an offer on the engine even!

Have you tried advertising on Gumtree, Ebay, local papers and so on?

It would be very sad seeing such a lovely car go for such little money. I think if you find the right buyer you should be able to get £850 thereabouts, or possibly more.

I would have it if I could insure it for a good price and afford the fuel on my new job coming up.

Good luck though and I hope you get what you are after

WOW !!!!! That IS a lot!!!!

Insurance doesn't make sense.

I recently obtained some quotes and found a T5 S40 was cheaper to insure than a 2.0 diesel!
