95WanderWagen is going to look at a 2005 xc90 today near me to hopefully replace his 850 wagon (lost reverse). I've driven by three times and it's not at either location near me that I have seen in the past few days (seller gave him two locations). Hope it all works out! :rolleyes:

Pictures are up for that 99 V70R in Illinois 191k miles for $1,926

Gawd, these Gurnee Hyundai people are annoying. I cannot get the saleslady off my jock.:facepalm: For a $1900 car, no less. She sounds stoned. :confused: Hmmm... Maybe I'll call her back at 4:20.
I'll ask if they can make it a CPO. Actually, for $1900...

*This* has potential. No mention of mileage, however. That's probably a bad sign.

Q: When did Olive's go from the girl who couldn't get a prom date, to something everybody pleasures themselves over? :p
I know where you can find one. I'll give you a number. Ask for Monty.;)

20k over, yeah, not a good indication of how the car has been treated. At $2k I wouldn't be surprised if it runs poorly because the belt has slipped a tooth or something of that ilk. Though, I will say, it's a great opportunity to scoop up an unicorn for cheap.
 
#734 ·
^I want one too. M66 for me please.

Because emissions will be a nightmare if the car vin and reg vin don't match. Every module has to match... this why swapping every module from the AWD donor into the FWD car will be the easiest. Also the CEM of the FWD car doesn't have a clue what a DEM is... so the awd wouldn't function without a CEM swap...
 
#753 ·
Oh. Just move to MA then. Base it on a '08 and it will be emissions exempt in 5 years :thumbup::D.
 
#751 ·
Really the only things on a P2 you can swap without a software reload are the alarm siren itself (not the rear view mirror, that's VIN locked), SUM, maybe TCM (could on a P80)... The ECM/CEM/DEM/REM/UEM/BCM are all locked to a vin.
 
#752 ·
Rear view mirror is VIN locked on a P2 XC?
 
#758 ·
Prolix was talking about being able to "clone" a car into a another one. Maybe we should take this whole line of conversation to its own single thread so we could all really dig into it. It's not left my mind as a serious option going forward.

Update: XC70 in Fredrick MD is a NO GO. I repeat NO GO. Would make a good parts vehicle though, however I doubt he'll take less than a grand for it. Timing belt jumped. Angle gear is toast (or going out, nice WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP noise in drive and reverse).

Orville at L&B said run away, and go look at the Mason Dixon auction after pricing out a used motor (no turbo) and angle gear from Erie to the tune of almost $3k (lifetime warranty though). Another $2k in labor...Uh, absolutely not lol.


So its back to the drawing board. If anyone knows/has an XC90 they'd be willing to let go, AWD 2.5T with 150k or less miles I'm all ears. I seriously can't afford this crap right now >_< hah!
 
#765 ·
Orville is quite the dude. Glad you went to see him.
We'll all keep an eye out. Add it to your signature "wanted- xc90 2.5t with under 150k" and post often. Someone will recall when they come across something within a drive from Reading, PA.

Glad I met him too :thumbup: Thanks for the recommendation

On another note:

2005 Volvo XC70 Cross Country - $1200 (Hellertown)
https://allentown.craigslist.org/cto/6054594753.html

"This IS an all-wheel-drive model, but needs a $100 splined shaft to make it work again...therefore it is currently only front wheel drive like a base model XC70" :wtf:

This guy must be smoking crack... LOL And given the pics of the interior and how the leather looks, I'd swear someone let a the tweakers have a go at the interior :facepalm: Am I correct in assuming that he's referring to the collar gear (similar to the strengthened one PDV offers)?

Holy crap, what unspeakable things happened in that poor wagon.

LOL!!! Well, I didn't see those replies coming... :facepalm: If I had to guess, I'd say someone had a dog with them everytime they drove...claws and leather interior equal large disaster...

I mean, overall it does look decent (from 20 ft)... A lot of the interior may be able to be salvaged/cleaned up with a week of elbow grease and 3 dozen cans of lysol... But I still think he has one too many 0's on the end of that number...especially given the AWD doesn't work (and I'd bet $ to donuts that the angle gear, pcv, and timing belt all need done...)
 
#773 ·
$10 it's spewing oil from every crevice lol. As for the interior, hit it with a black light at night and then tell us it's salvageable!

Speaking of cars that would fail, I saw the infamous Volvo 850 Convertible again last night. I absolutely can't believe this thing is still around. Last time I saw it was nearly 3 years ago in Charlestown. On Broadway in Cambridge just east of Grand Junction

Is that a Mass plate on that 850 vert? I can't imagine it would pass your annual inspection like that but then who knows?
