I like how it says its never been a tow car - yet it has a tow-bar on the back of it?

It looks like a nice car and says it has full Volvo history, however no mention of any jobs done on it apart from a 'detail' inside and out. Must've been a particularly expensive detail For £2500 it would need to be pretty sorted.

I'll then say 'they missed a bit' - they've blackened the front mud flaps but not the rears - £500 off for that I reckon /pedant

Mine had only just covered 89k. Granted its not a t5 and I am the third owner but I paid a fifth of what he is asking. God loves a trier and all that but he is taking the pi$$.

If it were an 850R it would be a good price. But it's not. It's a highly polished T5. Admittedly it does look like it's well looked after, no suspension sag, no scuffs on the bumper.

I do think it's a nice car and probably worth that money to the right buyer, but you would have to be an enthusiastic buyer looking for that money.

That said you can easily spend that getting a shed back up to scratch.
