After less than two days, Alan? I'm afraid that you and 'C J.' both are very generously much more charitable than I! Regards, John.

I think you may have missed this addendum to my post above: Addendum: I was intrigued by this so I asked the seller how long he had owned the Volvo, he replied a week and later added:So I was being too generous to the seller.

Well, as has been said, the car now belongs to the chap who bought it from me last week, and what he does with it is his business.
I do feel that if he's looking to turn a quick profit he might struggle - it's a lovely car, and to a Volvo enthusiast it has a value, but otherwise it's just another old car. I think I did actually make that very point to him in the course of our conversation. Whatever, I wish him well. He was friendly, fair and prompt in his dealings with me, and that's all I can really say about it. Cheers Jack |

Good fortune to the chap, but I think he may struggle to make more than a few hundred pounds on the S90. From my brief research the 1990s motor cars seem to top out at about 2 grand.

I don't know much about selling on eBay, but I think the car might do very well if offered for auction with a specialist dealer like Matthewsons. Potential purchasers at such events are much more likely to be knowledgeable enthusiasts who would appreciate a car's value. If it was so offered, I would not be surprised if the vendor were to double their money.
It only needs one person who appreciates a car for what it is and really wants it ... Regards, John.

Absolute dung heap of a car. £500 tops!
There used to be a way to find out the reserve.

I go away for a week and miss all this! Wow, he doesn't mess around does he?!
I'd assumed the ebay advert was placed by our very own CaptJack! Hope you were happy with what you got for it CJ - if it had been a different colour I'd have been very interested as you know.
