FordFrk06 Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 i actually looked at that one a few days before the meet, and i drive by it almost every day. it has been there for a few months, has 175k, and a leaky head gasket. in other words, it is right towards the bottom of the list.and its white. i dont want another white car. they get dirty too fast.

The reason it is called a T5-R on autotrader is because they call all Rs T5-Rs, at least for the 850s. Price doesn't look bad for the number of miles on it. In Bellevue also. If you want help checking it out, let me know and I will go with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanfbi Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 That one looks ok, worth checking out, even though engine bay is pretty dirty, but it doesn't always mean it has problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erk1983 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 that is a very nice R , price is good for the mileage! it kind of sucks no volans though. you should check that one out for sure man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFrk06 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 yea, the only real problem i have is that it is red. statistically, red cars get pulled over more than any other color. plus, i dont really have the money yet. really kinda unfortunate that its gonna be a lump sum, as opposed to me having some now, and getting the rest later. i have been waitng on this money since the end of december. i gotta ask my dad if he will let me take money out of my bank account as kind of a down payment on it. also, it is kinda at the very top of my available car money. plus tax & lisencing, im lookin at at least $8000. and, thanks for the offer, zappo. i will almost definitely take you up on that.

ViperVettte Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 He drives an 87 Cressida. He needs all the help he can get. +1Zappo gift wrapped it and got it shoved back in his face! OOOOH! So no red, no white, no blue black yellow silver. How about.... purple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordFrk06 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 +1Zappo gift wrapped it and got it shoved back in his face! OOOOH! So no red, no white, no blue black yellow silver. How about.... purple?now, see, heres how it is (1st to last):colors: yellow (T-5R only), black (anything else), burgandy, blue, red, silver, white, purple.cars: 95 850 T-5R (yellow), 97 850 T-5/R (either/or), 98 S70 T-5/R.and no wagons.and, unless the engine is completely blown, i dont want a car i have to work on or put any extra money into (except for a sound system, of course). if the engine is blown, and they are easy to find, and cheap to buy, i will get the car, get the engine, and take them to a shop. for example: there is a mid-90s ford thunderbird, black, blown engine, for $1200 in autotrader. i could get an engine for, probably, between $1500 and $3000 dollars, plus $500-$1000 to get it installed, that t-bird would only cost me $2200-$5200. of course, i dont know how expensive volvo engines are, esp. if i find a T-5R with a blown engine.
