Pricing up my Volvo/ Buying confusion
I have a Volvo V70 which we have looked after.
I am having difficulty pricing it. It's in good order and has been looked after. I'm finding it brain battering out there! What would be a sensible asking price?
Also, I bought a new car today and did the deal, but once I got home I realised they had charged me for 6 months VED. I am sure they said they would give it to me instead of reducing the price.
They seem to have a tactic of trying to confuse customers by changing the subject all the time. I did spot they had added £300 to the invoice on top the advertised price!

Read 'No Angel - the secret life of Bernie Ecclestone' by Tom Bower. These are standard dealer tactics. A 2002 V70 D5 S trade books at £3,900.
