[drPheta]

I'm trying to cop a feel for what my car is worth. Although it's not for sale outright, it can be bought for the right price

Roughly 158,000 miles

I'm the 2nd owner

All records of repairs/receipts from purchase date (08/2002) along with an Excel spreadsheet of maintenance/mods done since date of purchase (08/2002)

Stage 0 100% completed with silicone vacuum hoses, bosch plugs

Man you best not be selling this thing!

[drPheta]

Not officially selling it. Just wondering what price the bus would fetch.

[Boomin850]

It would be a sad day if you sold your wagon...

[Karlson]

i think with 158,000 mileage 6-7k is a fare price

i think with 158,000 mileage 6-7k is a fare price

that's a complete lowball

with all your maintenance, modifications, and upgrades, plus the rarity of your car, I would think $10k is a fair asking price

[volvo4lif3]

You know as well as I do that just because a car has mods, doesn't mean you're able to jack the price up. I know its a volvo, but mileage isn't high, but its not low either. 6-7k would sound about right. Probably could make more if you pieced your car out.

Dude, you must not know that yellow T-5R wagons are a very rare thing to come by... And finding one in great condition like Peter's is like hitting the jackpot.

$10,000 is a fair price for the car, give or take a bit. Only thing that would lower that a little would be the fact that it was stolen and wrecked (not implying in any way it's not perfect now, just that it has had some history) :ph34r:

[volvo4lif3]

An enthusiast would pay that, but any other idiotic american would think otherwise. I probably should just keep my opinion to yourself. I'm sure it's in good condition, and runs great. Good luck if you decide to sell.

[drPheta]

Yeah, it's not gonna be a sad day, cause I'm just feeling it out. If the need came for me to sell it, I'd know what to expect. Darn, 6-7 k? I'd rather sell one kidney.

[mAydAy]

Hasn't this car had a, uhm, rather rough history?

I know its all been repaired properly but its misleading not to put that info out there on the table....Since its a pretty big deal.

[Boomin850]

The way I look at it is "It's worth what an enthusiast is willing to pay." It's just the law of demand...

[dons850t5r]

$9999.99 and not a penny more

I need a yellow to go with my 2 black cars -stuff that will make 3 Rs!

[Karlson]

buy white t5-r for 5-6k and then repaint it in yellow

Yes, this car has had its history, and all the repairs and such are marked on the Excel spreadsheet... along with the receipts. Besides, those of you on this board know very well what this car's been through.

Don, that's tempting... :P
