Default what can I get..offers

hi everyone
I have my beloved 2003 xc90 for sale..she has 198,000 on the clock and still pulls like a train..it has a full service history..most of the recent work that I have done on her has been done by the fantastic VOLVO DIAGNOSTIC in Essex,a very reputable garage I believe on this forum
I have had done a lot of work on her over my ownership time...
new brakes and discs all around and handbrake shoes also..far good it is mind.
gearbox oil changed
recon turbo fitted
new intercooler
new front and rear engine mounts
rear, lower wishbone bushes
rear droplinks
oil and filter changed every 7000 miles
the service history is very extensive
timing belt and water pump was also done..before I bought car and Volvo diagnostic has said good for another 90000 miles..
my old girl still pulls like a proverbial train but just too big for me now
she has the fully working video screens on rear headrests ( needs headsets I'm afraid)
factory fitted working sunroof..quite unusual I am led to believe.
a/c very cold
ect ect ect
now the BIG question..what is she worth...I really don't know..
she is not without her faults
all the usual marks and blemishes and a dent in the front offside wing that I think could be pulled out..its not big at all in my opinion..I bought her this way....
I would be open to sensible offers for her or maybe there are some sensible people that could perhaps advise me as to what she would be worth if no one here interested.
all your advice or offers will be very much appreciated..thank you in advance

best regards
greg

Don't mean to state the obvious, as you're maybe just looking for a more experienced view, but for an idea of what to price it at, Autotrader is a good starting point.

Webuyanycar.com might not give you a great price for it, but it should give you a 'base' price to work from.

________________
engine ? petrol/diesel / size ?
MOT ?
insurance status,, a write off / not ?
Tyres age/condition/wear left
Haldex unit service history?
does 4x4 work properly *if its a 4x4 one

Reasons WHY that list of parts needed replacing would also help
as will photos of it inside + out
"etc etc etc" means totally nothing
"not without her faults" and a dented wing,,, you will be FAR better off asking the questions With photos and more info ,,

as it stands now id give you £400 with 12months mot
