A driver that is going to take good care of it. I love this car, and I want to see it go to a good home.

I know there are a ton of goodies that I am forgetting about the car but please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. I have been a member of the Volvo community for almost 10 years. I will add any new items to the list in red.

* Reason for paint: when I purchased the car in 2008 the dealership did inform me that the car had been repainted. I understood, I inspected, and I was fine with the condition of the paint. It had not been poorly done. In the fall of 2010, I began to notice some areas of the paint that were less than satisfactory for me. Also upon further inspection I found an area of the rear quarter panel that had spider webbing in the paint. So in April 2010 the car underwent a complete exterior tear down, strip and repaint, properly.

Price:
Looking at $6300 obo.
Can take some things off to move the price around.

You don't want it, you just sold the Newman T5M to focus on the S70. But I echo your sentiment Gary, I'm going "hmmmm" too.

[Yellow95]

Look at my sig. I swore every one of them would be my last.

I wish I had seen this a few months ago before I got my T5M! So very jealous of whomever gets the car. I'm not even near that condition and I've already spent 2 Gs more than your asking for and I'm still 3-4 Gs away from where I want to be!!!
