This car is basically a V70R without the AWD and associated problems. The T5 Manual was a low production model in the US and there aren't too many around. The car is fast, fun and sounds great. Handles very well and is a blast to drive. Everything works! AC blows cold, heated seats work almost too well, sunroof works great. With great power comes great responsibility and it is time to pass the torch. 

I have spent a ton of time and money building this car but priorities have changed and it's time to move on. This was my daily driver until about a week ago when I picked up a new Volvo. I hate to let it go, but I just don't have the time anymore. 

Trying to sell a car on here is impossible because I can't post pics. I will set up an album and provide a link. PM me for any additional information. Car is listed on swedespeed with pics.

Thanks, Wes. It's just time to let it go.  I bought a 2008 C30 and I have a little pickup truck that will always need work, so I have stuff to play with. Just trying to lighten the load a bit. It's a great car and after I read all the work I have done it makes me question why I would sell it, but I just don't have time. I took a new job with a long commute, my son is getting older, it's boating season, the list goes on. 

If anyone has any questions, let me know.
