Dude if I didnt have to get back to work I was gonna whip my car around and chase him down, lol. Although I'm not really a fan of the 850 wagons, I'd rock a yellow T5-R over any sedan, anyday. Although I must say, I saw a v70 R AWD the other day, and that thing was NOICE!!!! It was red too, which was sexy as hell.

Yea it was in ok condition from what I saw for like 4 seconds. The area where I work is very "rich", so I'm sure it's just some guy who has had the car forever and never really kept it flashy. It was stopped when I passed it so I cant say that it ran well, but it looked decent. Man, I wish I would have followed the guy. At least I can say I'll never forget the day I saw one of the coolest, rarest cars I'll ever get to see on the road!

I would have followed the thing. That is what I did the first time I seen a yellow sedan. That was just 5 months ago. What part of New Jersey was it? I will try to find the guy and see if he'll sell it for like $700. I believe only 35 of them were sold in the US.

Central Jersey. Right around Millstone, Jackson, New Egypt. If you can find Six Flags Great Adventure on a map and figure I was about a half mile from it you can call that ground zero.

You guys think older guys are stupid? I bet he knows exactly what he has, and has no intention of parting with it.

He could have bought it new. There was a Black 855R for sale on CL just a little bit ago, I'm sure it's still there, but it was the original owner selling it. The best part, it only had 52k miles on it!!! He was asking like 9 grand for it, but still, geez la weez it was in nice shape.

You calling me old?

I would absolutely love to find a yellow T5R wagon. My guess is only about 25 were brought into the US.

That is about right and I doubt he is going to part with it. I know I wouldn't.

I'm sure he knows what he has. I would just act like I did not know to see what he would do. You know some of the, lets say mature guys, like to have fun and play around with others. You never know, if you get 'em at the right moment he may give the dang thing to you.

Speaking of yellow T5-R wagons, there's one on eBay right now. 162k miles, thing looks mint. The guy is asking 9,400 for it. I'm pretty sure this guy knows what he has. Haha.

I just put a "watch this item" on the one on e-bay. Just curious as to whether he sells it for that much or not. I would not pay near that much for it.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see if it sells, and if it does if he gets his asking price.

There is no way that is going to sell for 9400. I would not pay more then 7K for that and even then I don't know.
