Market testing - D5 Active 59 reg - silver FSH

[Pitvar]

As above - only reason I might sell is to buy a new one: details are:

D5 Active in silver with the dark cloth interior - manual with 43k miles and Full Volvo Service History - just had warranty check and passed MOT. One owner from new. No outstanding finance. Tyres - Grabbers with 4mm or so but some outer edge wear on two [still passed MOT].

No damage apart from a couple of very minor marks [scratch on front bumper 40mm], slight depression on rear bumper sill from loading, never crashed/damaged/repaired.

Extras were spare wheel, tinted privacy glass [factory] and Zenon active headlights [were part of the Active build when we bought it].

I reckon I'd put it on Autotrader at £16250 given the condition and take close to that for it.

Any interest? Have I got the pricing about right?

Please dont take offence Pitvar, but the D5 actives were available new in 2009 for approx £21K ... with avg depn of approx 50% ... and a private sale ... I'd guess your about £3-4K heavy on what you might achieve ... Volvo kept their sales up with rock bottom pricing and HUGE discounts ..... what goes around comes around, so you got it for a very attractive price ... therefore any savvy buyer will know that, so your not going to make a killing at sale time ....

Here's hoping your sucessful, and after all its only my opinion

I was one of the lucky ones that paid £21k to be fair but looking at all the ones for sale in the UK that I can see £16k buys you a black or dark blue one in OK condition so I still reckon at £16k for a silver with some extras I'd get interest and end up selling for over £15k - the nearest new equivalent now is £28k as I found out when trying to do a deal on a new one !

Put it in parkers: £15,000 private good.
for a car purchase £21,000 three years ago.. that would be very good results.

Thanks Reggie, couldn't get the deal we wanted on a new one [but came within £30 a month] so we're keeping it for a year - or until better deals are out there in December...
