someolddude Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hey there. Got an offer from a friend that I couldn't refuse. Trade in that they weren't going to keep and send to the auto auction. 900USD is what I paid for it. 1997 T-5 wagon,automatic trans,133k,no rust. Just a crack on the passenger side rear bumper corner. Two lights were on the dashboard. Replaced the third light bulb and added coolant to the plastic reservoir took care of the two dash lights. I'll have and ask plenty of questions,this is my first Volvo. Of course I can't leave anything stock for long,so I'll have some questions on that also. LOL!!

Fudge_Brownie Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Welcome. Pretty good deal on the car. Possibly owned by an enthusiast in the past? I believe those wheels are from the 850 Platinum edition. Pretty uncommon to see the factory roof rails on the car too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fun stuff you can do to that car. Thanks! Probably will do some mild mods as far as intake/catback exhaust,add a rear spoiler and a spring/shock lowering combo besides some normal replacement and maintenance.. I do like the Platinum Edition 16" wheels that are on it,although I've been spying a 17" rim/tire combo with either the Fast Wheel Nineteen 80 wheel or the Achtung DM11 wheel either on a 205 or 215 45 series 17 tire.

Pretty uncommon to see the factory roof rails on the car too. I am thinking that might be the case. Those are the Platinum Edition wheels. I'll probably keep the factory roof rails as I want to add a roof bike rack also. I couldn't refuse the offer,not on this. I was looking at a Ford Taurus wagon or a Ford Focus wagon before this happened;LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
