Still no T-5's for sale, so what price should i expect from a 1995 850 T5? i mean i found an 850 from 1995 but non turbo for $3,500, i could have lowered it down to 2,800 or so. If i find a T5 from 1995 what price am i looking at? 4k?

 

$2,000 to $6,000 USD depending upon condition and mileage seems about right for a 1995 Turbo, or 1996-97 T5.

 

oh ok thanks, but here people really dont look at the mileage, i mean my 1995 volvo 940 only has 51k miles, and no one cares for that :-s But i hope i find a cheap one

 

You have to quit asking us how much cars are worth and then telling us that it's different where you live. Why do you keep asking, then we give you an answer then you say well it's not like that here? I think you should be bugging the crap out of the lady with the yellow T5R. How much would it cost you to get one in the USA and then take it home?

 

well, since i dont know how are things with cars in the US, thats why i ask, if i bothers you then there's absolutely nothing i can do to make you feel better. It will cost more than 3k just to bring it here since we use the same currency, thats why. And i already called the lady and she said no, i will not call her again until she calls me back to tell me that she wants to sell it. The prices are very alike so thats why i asked that, i only said that people here dont look at the miles in old cars

 

Sorry for the previous post. All I really meant is that I think the market is really different where you live and what it sells for or is worth in the USA is not the same as where you live.

I'm pulling for you to find at least a low pressure turbo. Keep hunting cause it sounds like there are some where you live. My advise it to not buy anything less than a low pressure turbo. I raced a pretty hot Integra or some smaller Acura with my wagon this weekend. Kept up with him pretty good, but he did beat me. I think he was surprised to see a Volvo station wagon hanging with him. The R would have killed him.

 

The salesmen at the Volvo dealership here in Indy discouraged customers from purchasing 850-Turbo and 850-T5. I see 850-GLT everywhere. Most local Mitsu' Eclipse and Acura VTEC guys must not know that Volvo(s) came turbo-charged -- as they are dropping their jars as they see my white Volvo sedan easily move past them.

 

hehe, thats true, well infact i will wait for an 850 T5, because i really dont want an LPT :S, and im sorry also Jim. I just hope to find an 850 T5 at a good price because i wouldnt want a car that doesnt go fast, i mean im changing my car(volvo 940) because the car istn fast at all, i mean i love the car, but is WAYYYYY too slow for my taste, yes there are SOME GLT's and SOME T5'S, but not as many as i would like, i keep seeing a black 850 T5 around town, but its not for sale or anything , maybe tomorrow ill find one, who knows

 

I live in Argentina and I have a 96 T5 Sedan. Yesterday on my way to the office I passed a red 97 850R. Wow! What a beautiful car. That´s going to be my next car. Guess how much that costs here? Around 13K. If it´s in mint condition it will cost 16K. I paid 8.5K for my car, with 137000 kms, and I' ve already spent around 1.5K on repairs, mainly suspension, tbelt.

In the Mercosur countries (Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay) imported spare parts have huge taxes, so I buy them directly in the US and import them myself. Spare part dealers and stealerships are adding 60-100% on top and since they are the only sources then they can charge basically whatever they want. They also spread out FUD "fear, uncertainty and doubt" regarding non-OE parts, like if you were buying pirate CDs or something. Really pisses me off because most people believe that crap.

 

Wow, and i thought the prices were high here in Panama, but oh well
