One for R-powered since he likes the chestnut interior

Really like my wife's 2010 S80. Now I want one too lol ... especially when I drive the S40 daily and then drive her car. It's like night and day.

That is super looking. I really like it, and with the AWD and V8 to boot, it would be a growler, in sheep's clothing, especially if you left it alone cosmetically (I would).
You - s40 to s80, reminds me of when I was Honda guy for a bit. I would drive my Dad's civic for a quick ride: hmm. OK; then drive my EX Accord Wagon: nice!; then drive my Mom's Acura Legend: the other two just became playschool...

DUUUUDE!!! That interior is cherry (but so fug). This lady's from Culver City-ish. The smart car/tesla combo is so... Santa Monica/Culver City. Someone stop me from buying this cause I'd have to park 2 sonic VRs at the office garage, which would really mean there's a problem.

Reading the description now that I'm at a computer....oh dear. "The tires, Michelin 235/45r17s are new on the rear and have around 50% wear in the front. The breaks are new and they put special rotors with holes in them so I could stop better in the rain, I think? " " It has several buttons on the dash and center console, the ones on the dash make it ride too hard and the one behind the shifter has a S on it, no idea what that does."

The name is a Japanese name, which would explain why it is so clean. Those guys keep their cars MINT. It is incredible. A car in good condition by 'MURICA standards would be as rare to see in Japan as a car in this condition is to see here.

15 years old in Canada, 25 in the states. Less if you feel like going through the hassle of having it federalized (shouldn't be too hard if it's LHD but good luck getting a registered importer to even talk to you about a Volvo :rolleyes:) or want to roll the dice with some of the, um, alternatives . The least illegal way would probably be to set up a shell corporation in Canada to own the car and register it there. Foreign registered cars can legally stay in the states for up to a full calendar year so, if you like vacationing in Canada, that might be the most legal way to import at 15 rather than 25. There are other ways as well but they are quite a bit less legal for the most part so I'm going to decline to elaborate here.

Might be a repost- this is a oooooong thread. Anywhoo:

Red 1996 R Sedan, 114 on the clock, 2003 'engine', looks fairly clean $4799. It also looks like it might be a bit of a hack- based on a couple clues....

Turns up in Seattle in my Portland Search but is for Sale in Beaverton- one town over from Portland Or. So mayby a little fishy.., , naw too fishy..., on the other hand!,...

Down another $200! First listing I have for this car is from Dec 2015 when it was $5,500. This thing has been on and off of CL for as long as I've been saving ads. It's battling for the record with the even more overpriced black T-5R sedan near me for the most appearances in this thread lol.

When you compare it to others with similar prices and mileage it looks like the cleaner one of the bunch from the pictures. Close up could tell another story.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but "foglights are gone, no idea what happened"

Wouldn't no spoiler = no fogs, according to the V70 specifications on Volvo's website?

Calling on the help of the experts here. On vacation this week, but when I return home, it'll (finally) be time to pull the trigger on a new car for my girlfriend.

She's narrowed it down to either an XC60 T6 (preferably R-design) or an XC90 V8. I'm incredibly picky about features, but she seems to only need BLIS. We're willing to travel for the right car, $17K max budget.

If anyone comes across a good example to share, I'd appreciate it!

Will be interesting to see what it goes for. The accident report has gone offline (minor incident). The town only keeps them for a year online.
