The T-5 sold in less than two days. I'll just keep hunting around for a good deal. The good news is that I found an awesome volvo mechanic in my area with tons of experience, he used to repair volvo's for 22 years. I'm gonna head out to his house tomorrow and he's gonna help me install a whole audio...

Need Opinion on two 850's

Hey guys, I'm still hunting around for that perfect 850 in my area. I found these two amazing looking 850's the other day and was wondering what you guys think about them, as far as pricing goes and anything else to watch out for. 97 T-5 http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/289043288.html 96 R http:/...

Well, I got the spakers and deck in, and will wait some time before I get a sub and maybe an amp. I rolled down the windows completely this morning and after the window had about an inch to go, I hear two popping noises. Turns out the wire from the speaker got disconnected. I could swear that I rout...

The car already has it's own amp? I looked at the wires which go form the antenna to the deck, and it looks like they are going through the body of the car, I honestly don't know how to route them through there. Do you have any instructions for it at all? I'm also going to route new wire from the de...

Ok, basically, I'm asking if anyone knows how I could route the subwoofer/amp wires form the trunk to the deck in the front. Also, if anyone has put in their own stereo system, please let me know how it went and if there were any difficult parts, this is my first time. Thank You

Need help with new stereo

Hey guys. I'm about to get a new stereo for my 91 240 and was wondering if any of you had any experience in this area, by doing it myself I will save over 175. It's a pretty basic setup, I'm getting an apline 10' sub with a built in 200 watt amp, a set of infinity 5.25' speakers, and an alpine deck,...

Looks like I'm gonna have to stick with the 240 for now. I have always wanted my own car because this one is as about as appealing as a pinto, but I will have a hard time paying for insurance and repairs, since I'm full time student with barely part time work. I can afford the car, but insurance wou...

I found a decent looking one on Craigslist, but she says the odometer broke and it needs new brakes, but for only 3500. I have to say, it's one of the better looking ones I've seen in my area, I may check it out after she emails me back.

Wow, thanks for your huge amount of input guys. I think my dad said he'll pay for any car inspection for me if I start to check out some cars, so that would be cool. How do you guys arrange this? Do you just have the seller take the car in themselves to a dealer and go along with them? I've never do...
