whats a fair selling price for my 97 glt850 wagon? owned 2 yrs. Has a rebuilt trans, new heater core, new fuel pump and some other fuel relay. new brakes all the way around two weeks ago. Fully loaded inside leather seats,heated seats, driver and passenger side electric. Burgandy exterior grey/bluish dash,seats. 122,000 miles speedo and odomerter have just started to work when it wants too so mileage is a little off. Air is cold no oil leaks of any kind. Have those special head lights have not installed yet. small hole in head liner. Aquired some spare items from a 95 wagon non turbo if interested? did i leave anything out? Any ideas on a price for sale? We found others but prices jumped up down by thousands don't know why they varied so much. I love the car, boyfriend bought me a 2000 jeep cherokee/ deal. so i must part with the volvo.
would appreciate input on a sale price. I loved your help on past repairs, found very useful will pass you on to new owner(s). thank you vv850 gal

 

the value of the car really will depend on where you are, what shape the body and interior are in and whether there's any repairs required to get it back to 100% functional - no advantage for new parts/recent repairs. You can look at Craigslist, Autotrader etc for similar year/models as well as KBB.COM. You may want to look at the write ups of how to pull the actual mileage from the dash and get the odometer gear repaired (a $30 part but requires opening the dash (7 screws and some finagling ) and opening the cluster (takes an hour or two at a desk) as an inaccurate odometer is a major disclosure (required by law here in CT). With that said, a 97 GLT in "good" condition - some age related cosmetic issues like door dings/scratches but no major dents/rust, no repairs required (the AC works, no leaks, no suspension noises, good tires etc), you should be able to fetch $3000-3500 IMHO. (lol I've owned both an 850T wagon and a Grand Cherokee - we could get more stuff in the Volvo with better comfort, mileage etc, so we sold the Jeep and put good snows on the Volvo)
