Vancouver, BC. Selling my pride and joy....

This is a very well cared-for example of a rare & sought after S70 T5 Manual Transmission. Aircared until April 2013. I am the 3rd owner of this 205,000km car which has been tastefully upgraded, including:
Weitec Sport Suspension (shocks, struts & springs)
Uprated Anti-roll bar drop links
Larger Turbo from later model Volvo (19T Mitsubishi Turbo)
3" Downpipe & 2.5" dual exit exhaust
High-Flow Catalyst
ECU Remap
LED interior lights
Clear Side Markers & Custom Paint Touches (Grill, plate holder etc.)
18" Mille Miglia Wheels in Matte Black
Drilled & Slotted Rotors
HKS Turbo Blow-off Valve
Polyurethane Engine & Transmission Mounts

Work done within the last 6 months:
Completely Rebuilt Front Suspension (spring seats, drop-links, tie rods)
Front Brake Pads
Rear Shock Absorbers
New High-Flow Catalyst
New O2 Sensors (F&R)
New Distributor Cap, Rotor, Ignition Leads and Spark Plugs
New Tires F&R
Throttle Body & Idle Air Control Valve Removed & Cleaned
New Engine & Transmission Mounts

How about an asking price next to that phone number?

Any idea what the red tape would be for getting this car into the U.S.? Asking price?

Hi Guys.... apologies on a couple of fronts here... I forgot the asking price, was copy/pasting from some other ads I've posted. Asking $5995 CAD or USD, both are fine I have accounts in both currencies and are pretty much worth the same right now anyway.

Apologies also for the slow replies - I thought I had email notifications set up but obviously not! My phone is +1 778-788-6385 or you can email on [email protected]

I'm happy to take a few more photos as well, and should add that I have the rear wing, I just took it off because I liked the look better, thought it looked a bit stealthy with the black wheels/grill, no wing!

Also realized that my list of recent work didn't include front wheel bearings, did those 3000km ago. (2000 miles)

I don't think it is complicated since this exact make & model was available in the US at the same time, just requires some paperwork. You also have to pay I believe 2.5% of the purchase price in duty, but I'm sure there are ways to minimize that ;)
