Seaway Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 98 V70 T5 Manual -198kLocation: Alexandria, VA This is a solidly built car with some tasteful mods and a ton of maintenance performed on it. It runs well, is very dependable, sounds amazing and surprises people on Highway on ramps. RN swapped motor, conservative tune and tasteful visual mods make it a very fun car.

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. https://goo.gl/photos/syHyNaShzh2zZKDj7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesdunns70t5m Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 D: what???? If I had the money id buy it from you right now. I can vouch for how clean this car is and how well it was running less than a year ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaway Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 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.
