That's probably the most fitting place for mine... I beat on it a little, but not excessively. As much as anything with an "R" badge should be!

If this is real then it could be a gem. Problem is that no info on if it is the original owner, or car has been in storage or anything on it's history.

Really low mileage, but there looks like damage to from RH bumper and possibly fender. Usual stuck antenna mast, and no interior pics.

Price if it is good and it is not a garage find that needs all rubbers stuff and other stuff replaced.

This week's wishful owners trying to sell their cars for stupid money with issues:

Multiple large issues and those are the only declared ones. No service info. Last year you paid about $1500 more for a sound working version.

This one nearly had me wetting myself laughing!!

Nice old 145, shame it is all different colors!

Car needs a full stage 1. This was a sub-$1000 car 2 years ago.

Ho-hum.

You can’t sell people in the US any more. We had a war about that.

Wait, if corporations are people, aren’t mergers slavery?

1998 Volvo T-5 2.3L turbo manual - $8,500 (Bozeman MT)

Manual, with much stripes & gauges.

"Only thing needed is a front end alignment and front tires" - Maybe from too much camber and smoking front tires?

Not sure how one goes through all of those upgrades, and ends up with less hp than stock. And running a screw through your pillar pod & trim is a sure sign craftsmanship
