There's no insurance issue on a '05 car. Don't know why people are saying that.

Hard to say. Obviously it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Every seller of anything in the world ever would like to think their item is worth x while it will only fetch y

If I were selling your car, I'd advertise at €995 and take whatever offer that came in close enough to that. Of course it is possible that if you keep your ad like it is, someone would ring you and offer €1500. It's possible but not likely. We try to give you our honest advice on here. And you've heard mine.

There is. Now you still have the freedom to shop around as it's still under 15 years old but as it's over ten years there is a loading and it could actually be very difficult to insure for some people.

Maybe I'm being a bit mean, but a grand would be max money for me on Volvo. Best of luck with sale. Insurance issue putting perfectly good cars off the road.

I could live with €1250. Obviously I'm biased but it is a decent car for that money, but I guess as ever insurance is the problem given the age. It wasn't a problem for me when I got the policy as I was going from an older 2.0 l petrol V70. Exactly what I want to go back to!

Whatever about value, I think the estate is a better looking shape, the saloon looks a bit odd to me.

First post in a while in here, this looks good, 5 cylinder diesel with a manual gearbox, it also has the silver trim on the instrument cluster which means it's the ford one. These are good for stratospheric mileage and have a long service interval. Plus its got the nct..

Love that Mazda but being Jap might make it a bit of an issue insurance wise.

The engine bay is silver, would that not mean the rest of the car was too? You'd hardly go out of your way to paint that bay.

The reflections on the dash must be awful.

I thought it was fine until I seen the interior. The lime green and shiny alloys I can get over but that interior is cat. Stock interior would have suited it better imo.

I quite like this, it's wrong but it's class!

acronym Chilli

When I sold my '02 Saab, it had NCT and Tax, but a Slave/Master cylinder problem on clutch that meant that when cold the clutch wouldn't fully release. Could start car in gear, drive a couple of minutes in first, and then it would be warming up and you could switch gear. Once fully warm, it was shifting as if there was nothing wrong with it.
Like your car, driving but with a problem (and I'd say I had a worse problem). No bites on DD, on Adverts I got 3 guys offering €100 quickly. They were breakers, but 2 had decent feedback on Adverts (both as a seller and buyer). Then a breaker offered 150, and then a private buyer offered €200. That chap bought it, I was really clear on the fault (car was totally cold when he arrived), and he took it for €170. I preferred to sell it to someone to drive than break, and he had the cash with him.

Two suggestions for information to add to the advert:

If car has had work done on it in recent past, highlight it, especially if you've had parts fitted. e.g. I had replaced DI cassette within 15/20k miles, which on it's own would be 250-300 new and expected to last 80k-100k miles. This reassures a potential owner that the car isn't shagged. Might also attract a breaker if he knows there are at least a couple of decent parts in there (even just a set of decent tyres on the rims).
If you've a quote for the exhaust, mention that and how much. As far as repairs go, it's a straight-forward one, so all that matters really is the price.
Photos of the interior
Maybe wash the body work

To get a buyer to buy it as a vehicle, you really want to convince them that you've cared for the car up to now but just are switching newer at this stage so don't want to spend money to fix exhaust.

In my own eyes if I was looking to buy to buy a cheap car to do me for a while I would pass that car since the problem with the exhaust. Nobody buying a cheap car wants to spend money to fix it up tbh.

Over 1200 views on adverts before the exhaust problem arose so the interest will be lessened by it.
