Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 2005Value & desirabiliy '99 V70 T5m - sticker3.jpg (0/1)
Have started the process to order a V70R (manual) --- and had the dealer tell me that my car wouldn't bring much due to the 5spd transmission. Need a consensus on value and 'desirability' of my car: I ordered it in the '99 model year --- V70 T5 5spd Dark green (think it was called blue/green) Tan leather Aluminum trim inside (faux carbon fiber) rear spoiler 85,400 miles With 100k Volvo warranty ($100 deductible) Window sticker attached Thanks Matbo > Have started the process to order a V70R (manual) --- and had the > dealer tell me that my car wouldn't bring much due to the 5spd [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Matbo And what would you expect the dealer to tell you?

Buy a car for yourself, not the next guy. Get what you like. | Have started the process to order a V70R (manual) --- and had the | dealer tell me that my car wouldn't bring much due to the 5spd [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] | | Matbo Find another dealer. We bought both of our 850's used with automatics, following an extensive (but fruitless) search for used 850s with standard. Now that we have had them for a couple of years, we wish we had held out and searched longer. Either there are a lot fewer standards out there, or people just don't resell them. In any case, your dealer just trying to low-ball you. It's plenty desirable. ----- -RL > Have started the process to order a V70R (manual) --- and had the > dealer tell me that my car wouldn't bring much due to the 5spd [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Matbo You'll never get what the car is worth at a dealer. Also, your dealer knows that 5 speeds are much sought after, and he'll make money on it. He's having you on, walk away.
