Default Any of you guys want a Yellow Sedan?

Are any of you guys interested in a Yellow T-5R sedan? I had this car for a few years and really took care of it. I sold it about 18 months ago when I purchased my wagon. Needed the money. Tonight I received an e-mail from the lady (young school teacher) that purchased the car stating the she took it to the shop for an oil change (I think) and they gave her a list of things that they thought needed to be done. Their list was about $2,300 and the only thing I seen on there that would make a hill of beans was a radiator and coolant bottle replacement. I have NO IDEA why it would need a radiator now because one was put on there less than 4 years ago when I purchased it (spring of '09).

I believe the car has about 125,000 on it and was in real good condition when I seen it about 9 months ago. Never in an accident (according to the car fax) and I was running full synthetic in it as well as the owner before me.

If interested you can post here or PM me. Here is a link to the last set of pics I took. Yes I installed Volan's on it.

850 T-5R

If I had it today for sale, I'd ask about $6,500. I bet it could be had for about 1/2 that.

I put an evaporator in it right before she got it. I also fixed both heated seats in it 9 months ago.

You might want to put another 60,000 on your current one before you start loading the miles on this one. LOL, it may be worth more money.

Actually, what does your cluster read? I think I remember you installing a S70 cluster in it. I have a 850 cluster with only 115,000 on it if you want to pass off your car for a LOW MILEAGE car which would totally cover the cost of the yellow car. LOL (JUST KIDDING)

LOL the V70R cluster says 229916, when I put it in my 850 cluster said 439685 and ive put 9,840 on the R cluster... So my actual mileage would be 449525 LOL

I dont have the 850 cluster anymore cause I gave it to a friend that did a turbo swap on his N/A as a s;pare.

Im trying to work out shipping right now than get a total of the actual cost. It really looks like I might be the new owner of a yellow.... im so excited!!!!!!!!!!

But money talks, so let me get back to it LOL

It's in Albuquerque. The most current pics I have are linked just above the picture of it. It is likely a little dirty but this is going to be Matt's Volvo deal from heaven if he chooses to close on it. LOL

RSPI, True. my R has been performing flawlessly. one thing l love about the turbo equipped models is the acceleration. it really does make it soo much fun to drive, l dont even want to get home early from a trip. very confi too. one day l would like to try the T5-R
