Ha! Let me just sell everything I own. Even then, I think I would fall pretty short of the wagon.

P.S.: when are you going to update your sig? Pretty sure you own another Volvo.

Right!?!?!?!? Les than 1.5k miles a year!!!!!!! That's crazy. If I had 15k I would definitely snag that, seeing has how it's practically brand new, not just aesthetically, but literally.

Actually, now that I think about it, 15000 isnt that bad of a price. You cant find a later year car with 21000 miles on it for much less than what this guy wants for probably one of maybe 5 'new' yellow t5's. If I didnt just buy a house I would probably take out a loan for this car. Someone from this forum needs to jump on it quick! I wanna watch that baby grow up lol.

Lulz. Just coming home today from the mall I saw a GTI with a trailer hitch. I was like what the hell are you towing with that car?

Sell your newly purchased house, buy the wagon and sedan and live in the wagon and use the sedan as a closet until you save up for another house.

This car is worth 14K being it only has 21K on the odometer. The wagon has 162K miles on it. Rare or not 9.4K for a car with 162K miles on it is to much.

I see a lot of CL adds like that too, because I'm trying to find a donor car, I see a lot of 850's that have like 200k miles on them and they're still asking 3 or 4 grand because it's a Volvo and it still runs "strong". I don't care what kind of car it is (with exceptions), if it has 200k miles on it, it's not worth that much. And they're all quoting KBB. Give me a break, so many CL add FAILS.

unless you drove it as a sunday car, would it not depreciate very rapidly over there once the odometer started creeping up towards normal mileage? It goes from $14k back to $8k after 3 years of normal everyday driving. Nice looking car but seems a lot unless it's going to be garaged most of its life.

Not in the states. If you want a manual, your going to have to do that yourself.

Here is a yellow T5R in Texas for $1995. It is a sedan, but for that price it would be worth buying if it runs looks half decent.

Interesting to see what the interior looks like. The outside is kind of rough, but nothing that can't be fixed. But for 2 grand, that's not a bad deal. Although it still has 200k miles on it.

My friend has one for sale. It's a 1995 T-5R 4 door sedan, cream yellow. auto, black leather interior, nice interior except for the driver side( small tear on the dark suade ) seat, usual for 213,000 mile driver. She got it from the original owner 2 years ago with 206K. This isn't a rot box for Wisconsin. She was asking $2,500

WHAAAAT??? Where? I have seen a yellow one around Milwaukee and it was a girl driving it. I was gonna try to become friends with her so I could buy it. Haha. We had this discussion in another thread, or maybe it was this one. Does it have Pegs or Columbas (aka 850 turbo wheels)?

Yeah, a Blonde, This might be the same T-5R, Not many here in Milwaukee or the Midwest. The original wheels and tires are in storage.( gray Titanium 5 spoke, P-Zero 205/45ZR17 with 95%tread) Its driving around on Nokian winter tires mounted on stock steel Volvo plastic hub cap wheels that don't do the car justice. I'll see if I can swap them back. I'm selling the car for her. She doesnt need stalkers. She has had plenty of people try to flag her down and ask about the car.
This is a really nice car for the age and miles.

I bet. I'm not that creepy. Haha. I've been wondering who that was that had it because that's the only one I've ever seen in person and I though the majority of them were on the coasts.
