Your price is getting closer to what I need it to be but i live in S.E. Pennsylvania (US) and I wonder
about the shipping costs to flatbed that baby down here.
You stated that you replaced the "timing belt tensioner" but what about the timing belt itself?

Hello, the belt was replaced by the P.O. at 170,000km. The tensioner was making noise so I replaced it with INA unit. Car runs perfect, A/C blowing cold, still drive it on occasion.

Anyone know of a flatbed service that I would use for shipping this car? My wife doesn't want me to drive across my own state border let alone to Canada. :)

Thanks, it is, I will miss it but I love the handling of my 3 series so its gets little use now, but the Volvo seats and comfort is supreme. I can't believe how much more roomy and comfortable the Volvo is, I prefer it for long straight highway drives. Its also faster than my 3 series once the turbo kicks in, but the throttle response and power delivery of the BMW is so linear and always available.

Price drop $2300, I want it sold before July so I don't have to renew my plate. Valid e-test, needs nothing for certification.

No Engine lights and runs and drives perfectly, very smooth and comfortable, no accidents. Everything works including A/C, all maintenance is up to date, just drive. No rust, body is in excellent condition, Interior shows usual sign of age.
No aftermarket mods, all OEM parts (INA, Bosch, Mann, GKN, ). Has had a full stage zero tune up. Current mileage: 242,000km or 150,000 miles

Parts changed in the last 4 years, or 25,000km:

O2 Sensors
Volvo Blue Coolant
Transmission Fluid Change
Thermostat and ECT
Parking Brake Shoes
Rear and Front Brake Pads
Upper Torque Mount
ABS Computer - rebuilt by Midwest ABS
All new vacuum lines
New Turbo cooling hoses
Lift strut
Bilstein Front Shocks, and spring seats
Rebuilt front calipers and new brake hoses
Cap + rotor
Air filter
Spark Plugs
Cabin Air Filter
Coolant Expansion Tank
Timing Belt Tensioner
CV Boots
Radiator
Oil Cooler Hose

No rust, the body was sprayed, and waxed regularly. The only reason I'm selling it is because I bought a newer car which I drive more. It is fast and drives smoothly. Full maintenance records available. Comes with winter tires and rims. It passed emissions last year and the test is still valid. It should pass safety as well, tires have 1-2 years left and front and rear brakes are new.
