New here. I'm currently on the hunt for an 850 or V70 T5 or R wagon and I love yours. I wish I lived closer.

Just wanted to say good luck with the sale!

Thanks, but the cost of shipping just isn't in my budget. I'm gonna have to try to find something closer to home. Good luck!

Great looking car. Best of luck with the sale. As others have stated, I'd buy this if you were closer. A shame that shipping often adds $1,000 to vehicle cost.

It doesn't cost $1000 from the middle of the country to ship anywhere, The most would be $800, probably $700
What ever happened to flying out and driving it back?
