I don't think you have done yourself any favors by telling people the lock is stiff and just needs wd40 or grease, if that's all it needs then do it, also the bush you mention, get it fitted as these are things people will haggle over. There is being honest and being too honest Chris:)

I sold my van through Gumtree. It was very straight, with a fresh MOT, roof bars and dog guard. I put it up at the upper end of the price bracket, took phone calls and told people who rang to ask about it that they could come and have a look (arranged times) but it would be sold on a first come first served basis.

 

About the fourth call said they wanted to come and look that night, but were coming up from Kent (about 65 miles). I said OK, but in that case let's agree the price now, and if it's as I have described it then that's what you'll pay. They made an offer about £100 below asking, I split the difference and we agreed. He came up, looked it over, all as stated, tried a cheeky offer which I declined, paid up and away he went. Everyone happy and the van sold within 8hrs of advertising it!

 

I'll go with Gumtree again next time, probably with the same strategy, assuming the Volvo is anything like saleable by the time I've finished with it....!

Not a bad idea mate, I would buy something with 12 months on it over 4 months mate. You've got to make it as attractive as possible. I would do that and ask £2500.
