I've already spoke on the phone to him and when asked about the history he replied,, I only bought it to sell it im not sure but the lady who I bought it off has a complete history in these books that came with it. Number 1, never say you only bought it to sell it in my opinion. 2, at least know something about its history, now I'm gonna go down and kick tires pointing out what it needs and how much it cost.IT origionally started at 1600 and has gone down in 2 months to 1200, why stop there lol. After telling him the seat is gonna be 300 to replace and whatever else comes to mind he may wanna just give it to me. I will post the details of the trip tomorrow.

 

Mine was on autotrader first, then they put it on craigslist the day before I bought it. ha. craigslist demographic still sucks.

Good luck faster, talk him down to $500! Tell him the pcv needs replacement ($500), also bs on the timing belt another $500+.

 

i hope you didnt buy the green t5 in lexington. that thing needed some work and there was rust all over it.

 

lol no I grabbed the red on in spartenburg Sc. While I was looking at it the owner said he dosent know anything about cars, lol. Right there I saved 500bucks

 

well after my complaining, i found a car that was better than described.

96 platinum edition that is in pristine condition. doesnt even look like anyone sat in the car. exterior doesnt have a scratch, looks like it just came off the showroom floor. body clean, engine super clean, no leaks no nothing. Needless to say i cant pass this deal up, its to good to let go in the condition its in.

i was wanting an s70 or v70 but honestly its the same engine just newer bumpers and a bit different interior

 

did you get it recently? ive been shopping for a little while didnt see a red t5 in that area. was it auto? get a good deal?
