What's it worth?

[Kev0607]

Hello all,

I'm looking for your input. I'm thinking of selling my Volvo S80, which I've owned since 2019. I'm wondering what would it be worth realistically to sell private? I figured it won't be worth more on a trade in, so probably best trying private. I've owned the car since 2019. It has been really well looked after. There's a few age related marks here and there, but hey, the car is 17 years old. I fancy a change now.

Info about the car;

-Its a 2007 Volvo S80 2.4 D (5 cylinder diesel with 163bhp)... P3 shape
-110,000 miles
-Automatic transmission (6 speed) with manual mode
-Cream leather interior. Rear seats are basically as good as new, as is the passenger. Driver's seat isn't torn or anything, but naturally shows more wear than the others
-Black exterior paint
-SE spec, which includes; Electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory functions, air conditioning, bluetooth connectivity, 4x electric windows, automatic climate control (dual zone), front heated seats, heated mirrors (also auto folding), automatic wipers, cruise control with steering controls for the radio, central locking. Its got the modern gismo's basically, all of which are in full working order.


-Full main dealer service history up until 2018 with stamps in the book and has been serviced by myself since then (I bought it in 2019), but an Independent Volvo specialist has done some things too. Sadly, the previous owner didn't leave any receipts/Invoice's in the service book showing what was done in the previous services at the dealership. I rang the dealership who confirmed the car indeed does have fully history up until 2018 (as the service book shows with the dates matching), but they wouldn't send me any receipts due to GDPR.

I've had the following done in my ownership;

- Gearbox fluid changed (Volvo specialist)
- Cam belt replaced (Volvo specialist),
- Coolant change (Volvo specialist),
- Auxiliary belt and auxiliary belt tensioner have been replaced with genuine Volvo parts.
-The torque rod in the engine has been replaced and the lower engine mount
-Recently fitted two new outer track rod ends with a 4 wheel alignment, as well as 4 used tyres with plenty of tread on them.
-New discs and brake pads all around.
-Brake booster has also been replaced (Volvo specialist)
-I had the alloys refurbed a few years ago. They're still in good condition, but there's age related marks on them now.
-Recently had an oil and air filter change done by myself (in January 2024).
-Just passed an MOT in January 2024 with no advisories.
-Trailing arm bushes have been replaced (Volvo specialist).
-2 keys
-Car drives very well. There's no knocks or bangs. Everything works.

It does have a private reg on it, which wouldn't be included in the sale. Original plates would go back on the car.

What's it worth, do you think? I'd like it go to a good home. If anyone was interested, I'd even put it for sale on here to go to a fellow Volvo enthusiast. Its worth nothing that its not for sale at the moment, but I'm considering it.

This is an honest car with plenty of life left in it, but I fancy a change for something newer.

Thanks for reading.
