MWvolvo850 Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 The price seems right and miles are low. However, I'm looking for some suggestions before I schedule to meet with this person.http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?t...61&aff=national Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorb850 Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 It does look like a nice car and a good price but its definately not a T5R. The T5R never came in that color and the vin has a "57" engine code, indicating turbo, not the "58" T5R code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 You should check that price then. Chances are he priced it as a T5-r to be a bit higher, so you may get him down a bit more when you tell how stupid he is. HehI would say try kbb.com and edmunds.com edmunds seems to set price a bit lower than KBB. Upon futher inspection of the page, I actually live very close to that person heheMWV where you live man??

Veneficus Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 If you really want a T-5 I'd hold off unitl you find the exact one that you want. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95 R Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Its NOT a T5-R. Just from the pics alone you are missing the T5-R wheels. The T5-R didnt come in the color. If it was a T5-R it should have leather AND sueade seats. The T5-R has a stiffer suspension than the T5. It is also missing the R front bumper.If you want a T5 instead of a T5-R I would look for one with a manual (the R models were not available in the US with manuals).

However, I'm looking for some suggestions before I schedule to meet with this person.http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?t...61&aff=national←I'd be careful with this one. The seller claims that the speedo is Cdn-spec and that the odo is in kms. That's crap. First of all the predominant readings on the speeedo are in miles/hour. In fact, Cdn-spec speedos don't even have miles per hour on them, just kms; and I would question whether the odo is not reading in miles as well since it all looks to be a US-spec car.Stay clear of it and go after a real T5R or R if that is what you really want.Good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicLemonade Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 that car is junk i would bet and i wouldnt trust anybody who knowingly would lie on the internet about a car they are selling. wait till somebody sells one exactly how you want it. i mean look at SDSPAINTBALL he got a real R in yellow (best color) in decent condition for 2800 i believe. patience is a virtue.
