Looks clean, you might have paid a little too much, but if you think it's worth it then if definately is My buddy picked up an amazingly clean s70 t5 for $1000.00 116K miles. I'll have to get more pictures. The car is in showroom condition. Interior is PERFECT. All I have to do is put in an upper engine mount which is coming in Saturday and the engine is in perfect shape as well. Just gotta do fluids for the most part.And here is the story. I myself did not pay for this. The parents did. They were going to buy my sister a Hyundai Elantra or some crap like that, and were willing to spend ~11000 on a car for her. I told them that was dumb, and to spend half the money on another Volvo. They liked the idea so much they told me to pick one out! And since they saved around 6 grand on the initial purchase, they are also offering to cover anything safety related on the car. They bought me an awesome car, but they also bought themselves peace of mind knowing I'll be in a safe car at college. Either way I'm stoked!Oh and the difference in power is nuts. Absolutely love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Account_Deleted_T5M Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 just wait until you chip it. huge diff.Huuge difference over stock, you notice it more with a 5-speed as they're limited to 5psi in 1st gear, but chip it (it's safety related) Think about that 18-wheeler bearing down on you and you need to get out of the way fast.

I'll use your post as evidence it is safety related. I think I might hold off on performance mods for a couple months, I have a lot of expenses outside of the car that I'd like to take care of first...donations are accepted :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
