Supply dictates the price.

But I blame the covid marketing tactics.

I've noticed across the board that the prices on car have risen stupidly.

But I've made a realistic offer to the s60.

I honestly hadn't attributed the asking price to Covid, I simply thought it was a supply drop. Once commonplace vehicles be it, cars, motorbikes and vans have always been advertised at what appear to be un-realistic prices.

I suspect we have all sold cars that are now desirable and at a premium. I had a Chrysler Sunbeam 1600 ti that I since discovered was a press car, a 1987 Corolla AE86 and a Nissan 200SX S13. Hindsight is a wonderful thing...

I'm an avid viewer of "Bangers and Cash", the prices achieved vary wildly though initial estimates are rarely as optimistic as the owners.

Supply does indeed dictate price...in the case of this T5, who was wanting a large capacity petrol engine in that time period....very few. Most of the car buying, and more importantly fleet buyers, wanted Diesels for the MPG and the Tax rates. I bet there were even less petrol VW Passat's produced around the same time.

Personally I brought my black 2006 T5 with all the toys and 98k on the clock about 2 years ago from a car dealer who'd taken it in part ex for £2500 with no warranty or service and cambelt etc...as I could do that for less than the advertised 3k price. There was incredible interest in the car and I was one of 5 men after it within a few hours on auto trader, and I don't believe that was car dealer speak. He was genuinely surprised a saloon would generate so much interest as small SUV's AMD Hyundai i20's etc... are so popular, he even asked me if I knew of any others for sale as I was only after a black one.

For that Chevette mentioned above, there can't be too many of them left at and will be the right vehicle for those entering the classic market remembering their youth/childhood in the back so that will be part of the price.

It won't be long before its 90's cars which capture the emotion....and one day somebody will be misty eyed about a Toyota Prius and the prices will rise!!!

Indeed you're right it's mainly supply and demand.

But I am seeing alot of Volvo D5 for sale for some odd reason??

Wish it had been a V70 not S60.....

But I suspect so do many others.....

The wheels look like 16" Regulus alloys from an S80. It's very possible that the car has had something akin to 'proper' T5 alloys on the past....or something nice like Nebulas which may have been robbed off it and cheaper wheels put on. Common tactic.

Car does look nice all things considered though.

I looked at the MoT history the other day and it had advisories in 2012(?) for 2 buckled wheel rims. I wouldn’t have put those wheels on it though!!

16" wheels will be rather tight over the front calipers as well.
