1998 S70 T5 SE Part-out


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, it has come time for me to either part out my 1998 S70 T5 SE. It needs to be gone by the end of this year before I go back to school in January so I need to do something about it. I'm located near Vancouver, BC and should be able to ship most parts. It was well-maintained my family and myself since 2005, from 70,000 to 259,000km. The engine has rod knock.

It's a T5 SE model which is a Canada-only market car and came with goodies like R door cards, aluminum door sills, alcantara seats, wood+leather steering wheel and shift knob, and a 4x50W under-seat amp.

Exterior is 426 Silver, interior is Charcoal

Basically any interior bits
Waterfall grille - $25
XC grille - really nice shape - $90
Headlights - $60/ea
Corner lights - $20/ea

Pretty much any switches - all are clean and do not have the typical stickiness. A few have burnt-out bulbs

Color code of the interior and the external would be helpful. 

Right, I meant to add that in there. Exterior is 426 Mystic Silver Metallic, interior is charcoal (I think the code is 3970?). Photos on the way today or tomorrow

Dang, unless you're hiding bad stuff in those pics, the body and interior looks like it's really in good shape!  Be a shame to part it; make a good project car for someone wanting to upgrade the engine..  so hard to find these cars w/clean bodies any more..

If it was olive and a wagon I'd be coming to pick it up right now..  :cool:

The front left fender and rear right door have noticeable dents, and the bumpers could use a respray but the rest is straight and clean with not even a hint of rust. This car pulled very hard up until it's last pre-rod-knock breath

I agree, it's kind of heartbreaking that I may have to part this car, and if I had the right garage space and a bit of money I would swap the engine and get it back on the road. Unfortunately that's an unrealistic situation for me at the moment :( 

That being said, I'd like to give it a bit of time before pulling parts so if there is someone interested in the whole car, speak now or forever hold your peace!

That's a beautiful T5 SE

 

I still regret selling the one I had. 

Good luck!

Thank you, my family is very good to our vehicles! I learned a lot about detailing while I owned this car too. 

I will probably regret getting rid of this one at some point, but for now my 850R is a pretty good replacement

If you part I'm interested in the window switches

All of them? I received a PM on Saturday asking for the driver's window switch, but the rest are available

If you do end up parting this nice sedan I would be interested in original floor mats and the "info" switch.

Gotcha, just cleaned them up and they are looking really good. One of the rear mats has a stain that I can try to get out. I had them described as mint originally but I think that was before I had a really good look at them, so I'll update with a photo for you. Noted on the info switch

Just curious, what would you want for the whole car? I don't think it would be worth it for me to have it shipped to minneapolis, but it seems like a really nice car from the pictures.

I'll PM you

I've had about at least a dozen inquiries in the first 48 hours so it looks like there's enough interest to part the car. I'm having a tough time keeping track with it on 3 different forums plus craiglist haha, time to get a spreadsheet going. I think I'll give it another week before pulling the trigger on parting, but it's looking like the most likely scenario

All of them including the driver's side switch. I'll give you a great price for the entire set of 4.

I'll have to see what happens with the inquiry for the driver's switch first :) 

Oh yeah, I should mention the car received a brand-new oil pump when I took the car to a mechanic in an attempt to restore oil pressure last year. That was a $380 (CAD) part so if anyone is seriously interested, for the right price I should be able to remove it for you

Thank you. I don't mind some stains and don't expect them to be literally mint - I can always clean them.  :)
