Whenever I offer anything for sale on ebay - not just cars but anything - I always look at recently sold items to judge the market before setting my price.

Hope the link works

Having a browse through the cars on that list there is nothing special or in good overall condition, hence the low prices

Quick update to say that a load of photos were taken last weekend and the plan is to put an advert up later this coming week when I’m back from Italy.

Thanks again for all the comments and information, it is very much appreciated.

Actually a bit sad but I just can’t justify it any longer so needs a new home.

So she's gone to a new home today. Nathan on her (user Lightyears) came down and took her away just now. I'm a mixture of emotions; I'm really glad it's going to a good home where it'll be cared for but I'm so sad because I just loved that car. Sadly, I just couldn't justify keeping something that was really just a lockdown project.

A big thank you to all those that helped me during my ownership of this car, with links and info and recommendations, this is a great forum.

Cheers all.

As Rael has already said, I picked up his 850 today, the car is a testament to rael's commitment to bringing a old car back from the brink, I will start my own thread on it shortly, but it made the 140 mile trip home (minus eco protestors at dartford) with no issues at all.

And hear she is, all tucked up next my younger but older V70 TDI

Looking forward to seeing how the progress of this car proceeds

Looking good, Lightyears, such a nice looking 850! Well wear with it!

And serious credit to RaelG for tastefully bringing it back to life with such subtle additions!
