No mate, still got it. I had quite a lot of interest but no serious offers. I might try again on ebay.

Maybe this will help. I had 2008 C70 D5 fully loaded from Clive Brook in Bradford for £15k - first registered end of April 2008 and I bought it February 2011 with 34,600 miles. I travelled 250miles from South Wales to get it. For me, that mileage was right at the top of what I wanted - if the car had been any less than fully loaded with all the options I would have counted it out on mileage - in fact I did at first. One thing you I don't remember reading is whether you had the car new - I assume you did but maybe worth saying this explicitly. I asked the local Volvo dealer what they would ask for a D5 just before I bought it - around £20k - maybe they exaggerated a bit but it was far more than I paid.
Hope this somehow helps.

Hi all, thanks to everyone for their replies and comments.

I've decided to relist it on ebay with a lower reserve to try and get it sold. Here is the link to ebay if anyone is interested. Thanks

What exactly is a cap price? I've never heard of that before.

Sorry Scott never saw this reply - CAP is basically a company that keep tabs on all the prices of cars on the general market. It's a bit like the record keepers of cars being sold (specifically used but they do new cars as well) The used car market use this guide to see where else and what the price of cars are currently going for.

I know a few guys who use it like the stock exchange. They buy cars cheap and sell high. An anecdote I have from about 5 months ago (when I was looking for the V50), Audi A4 avants prices had changed over night. A friend of mind had two on his pitch which he had bought low a few months before they hadn't shifted so sold them to another used car dealer for more than he paid for. The person who bought the cars off him ended up selling them more than he paid for, so win win for both. You'll find different parts of the country seem to sell specific marques etc... better than others and it's all about playing the market.
