So, that's why I didn't want to jump in and say anything about the KBB value.<BR>I don't know man...even though KBB is not always the most accurate one, but the value I got wasn't even close to $16K.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE></B><P>Thanks man! <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/smile.gif"> I can't believe some of those guys, I'm not looking to argue with them but I'm going to stand up for my points also.<P>I just checked KBB and got a retail (not private party and not trade in) of just over $18k. That's WITH the deduction for the mileage.<P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><B> Now I know these cars still run very well even at high miles...but any bargain buyers would just get you on the mileage issue.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE></B><P>That's cool, I'm open to offers on the car. On one hand - I'm not a dealer here, not trying to make money off the car, but OTOH, I'm not looking to give the car away either.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><B>One of the BB member did have a good point, if you did not post the ad on the classified section, they can have some fun with you like that.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE></B><P>Yeah, I thought I had worded the ad pretty conservatively, but I guess I should have just put "98 Volvo for sale, call me". I would have done that if I had known flamers were going to attack.<P>And I pretty much am trying to just get the word out to as many people as possible about my car, so all the forums were open targets for me. It's the first week that we've had it for sale, I just wanted to give Volvo enthusiasts the first shot at a cheaper (well, cheaper than any others out there) T5 <B>and with the 5 speed</B>. <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/smile.gif"><P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><B>Well, if you seriously have tough time selling the car, let me know....but with $18K, you would need lots luck.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Thanks man, again, $18k was just a starting point, after all, that IS lower than the retail price. Has the retail pricing of cars become a fairy tale now? It wouldn't suprise me I guess.<P>I am open to <B><I>all</I></B> serious offers, but I'm not quite desperate yet as to accept trade in just yet.<P>Thanks for your words though man, I'm glad you posted, I was beginning to think I had accidently signed the ad "call osama bin..." instead of my email.<P>If there was a way just to delete my original post over there it would probably be best.<P>Please email me if you have a chance, I was going to email you but your address doesn't show up.<P>
