Er... no, I was thinking more like the one I had, a bit like this:

mine was a 1996 R plater in black, ex-Guinness UDV management car and it was brilliant. Okay, numb to drive in comparison to the 'liz, but as a low budget second car, couldn't be beat, and returned 35mpg religiously

Iain - yours was indeed a bargain, but the one you have posted also looks alright and worth a wee bid!

I've got one that I'm considering flogging (it's a V70 but the same shape at the 850's) younger though - was just wonding what kind of money to look for

I think you should change the spec of the Volvo to "Death trap spec" And then you could change signature to "Flame on!" too

Best starting point would be car value web sites (parkers) etc. Also do a search on Autotrader for cars similar to your's , to see what other's are being advertised for. Not a great time to sell a used car just now, or for a few months to come. IMHO

Parkers seems to be written by a volvo lover - it mentioned in the region of 3k which is just bonkers too high!

Of course I should do some research but was planning on being a lazy git and letting someone else do it
