Post 1998 Volvo S70 T5 5MT Parts Car For Sale (1-Owner Car) ATLANTA AREA

This car was a daily driver that met its unfortunate end by going over a 6" curb at 40 mph. Occasionally, Atlanta likes to do this thing where they add, remove, or relocate lanes and leave the roads open despite the fact that new and correct lane lines haven't been painted on yet. In heavy rain conditions and at night, this is not the best set of circumstances.

Any who, the car is/was a great car with few problems over the years. It was purchased new in 1998 for about $40k (the paperwork is in the glovebox) and has service records for the regular and repair maintenance done.

As a result of the curb incident, the car has some severely compromised steering components and two rims that need to be replaced (although 1 replacement OEM rim is sitting in the trunk of the car so only 1 rim would be needed for a full set, or 3 rims would be sell-able in the case of a part-out).

The car also has some minor bodywork damage; there are small cracks/chips in the bumper and a bit of peeling where the sun has begun to win the battle against the clear coating on the bumper. The metal painted areas are in better shape, although not 100% free of minor cosmetic damage like small scratches.

Other than that, the car is in pretty good shape. I don't think that it would be worth repairing unless you wanted to make it a track toy but the transmission and engine are in great shape and worth more parted out than the car was worth as a whole, functioning vehicle.

I don't have the time or garage space to part it out myself, so I'm ideally looking for someone to pick the car up and haul it away for cash. Title is in-hand and I'm not very keen on having it sit in the driveway much longer so I'm willing to get rid of it for a very reasonable (but not lowballed) price.

The weather isn't cooperating right now but I will get pictures of the car when the sun comes out again, including detail shots of the cosmetic damage and the damaged rims.

I'm looking for $1,500 OBO including haul-away.

This is a very interesting car, so it would be great if you posted some pics and you might also mention how you'd like to be contacted. I looked in Atlanta craigslist but I did not see the car there.

Sorry for taking so long to get pictures of the car. The past week has been absolutely crazy. I tried to get some detail shots of the defects in the car. If anyone wants more pictures of anything specific, just let me know.

Thanks! It was a pleasure meeting you both. I got home safely, and I did confirm the frame is bent. I can replace the frame though.

Would love to see that Skyline when it's all finished someday!
