Absolutely. These cars are outrageously priced these days.

Already gone! Looks like it was a really nice one. There aren't many '93s still around.

And no it is not mine! Higher mileage but claims engine was re-built in the last 5000km.

Looks pretty clean except for the typical under dash panel issue. That is about $8000 US

Definitely expensive, but that’s a really nice R.

It has one pedal, too few……

And that's where the T5 beats out the R. However the R almost redeems itself with cool colors and a nicer interior.

But we know a guy who has the best of both worlds and has the 'R' with FWD modifications!!

The paintwork looks much better than mine. It would appear the drivers in Vancouver area are a lot more considerate of other's vehicles than in Calgary where dinging someone else's car seems to be a sport!

This is what is driving me more and more towards selling mine as it makes me sad every time I see another dent. Apparently living in Calgary has it's downsides (other than long cold winters, rocks on the roads and idiot drivers) but owing a nice car is one of those.

Oh, well.

Another 5-speed, this time a 98' S70 on the West coast. Looks like a nice survivor and worth saving, although the asking price is a little on the high side. Driver side seat leather looks surprisingly good.
