Wanted - Classic Volvo 200 Series

Prufrock · Jan 9th, 2016, 15:02

There's no doubt in my mind that any club or forum member who wished to sell their car will be better off selling via a website such as carandclassic.co.uk, rather than either sell to a dealer or even allow a sale on consignment - that is if they are not successful in selling on this forum.

The majority of Volvo's (200s, 300s, 700s) do not command very high prices in the market at the moment* - for example, what price would a truly immaculate 244 or 245 GLT command? Let's suggest a range of £2000 to £3500, if this is the case (and it's just an illustration) then a trader would want to buy that car for no more that £1000 to £2000 I would guess.

Yes, and someone stated the obvious that they're in business! Sell to a dealer and you're asking for a mugging. If a dealer wants to buy a car then they can surely search like anyone else would?

And wouldn't you rather buy your next classic Volvo from the owner rather than a dealer?

N.B to take up Dai's comment I think it is actually quite easy to give some price indicators.
