NataSS Inc Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hey guys, its been a long time since I have posted but need some input.today I went down to Barrier volvo to get a new left front wheel bearing for my 850 and they had a new stage 2 C30 in the showroom. So after taking a quick look around, talking to a sales guy for a bit I can definately say I am pretty interested in picking one of these up.Is there anyone here that has some real world experience with one of these? What can you tell me about it? Are there any problems that these cars run into after a few miles has been put on one of them?ANY info would be greatly appreciated.

Zappo Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Stage 2 from Volvo? I can't seem to find anything on it. Is this an R-design version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NataSS Inc Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Stage 2 from Volvo? I can't seem to find anything on it. Is this an R-design version?I am guessing it is the "R" design version. Its the one that comes with the nice wheels, body kit, upgraded suspension and a couple other little things. the dealer kept calling it the "C30 2.0" and sometimes he would say "stage 2". the red one they have in the showroom even had the little prancing moose stickers on it. All in all its a pimp little car and if I can unload my 850 for about 5,000.00 it would really fit nicely into my budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cicatriz Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 That's the 2.0 yea...suspension/body kit/wheels is the only difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost3237 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 yea it looks nice and when i test drove the 2.0 t5m 6Spd it was a blast i'd do it if you can sell the 850 and are financially comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying like hell to get tickets for ufc 84, but they are so FRIGGIN expensive. The front seats actually slide quite a ways forward to allow access to the back. That was one thing I was concerned about as well since I have 2 little ones. But they are old enough to climp in on thier own, I just have to buckle them in.The price on the 2.0 they have in bellevue is 26,400. But it is nowhere near optioned out. No leather and no sun roof. I know there is about 1,200-1,500 in movement available on the sticker price. And if I can unload my 850 for 5,000-6,000 and get rid of one of my rifles for another 1,000 that would put purchase price right in the 19-20K range. I used to compete in the local MMA events but I recently decided to make a career change so I have stopped training for a while. Fightings fun but it doesnt pay the bills.

NataSS Inc Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 dude, thats unreal. bad unreal. scary unreal. how many units normally.sorry for the jack.mikeI check the Seattle volvo used inventory and the 4 cars I compared to KBB were all at least $1,000.00 over KBB's "Retail" value. That could be one reason not very many units are moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
