Looking for 2010-13 C30 R-Design/Polestar

Post by lotek9119 »

Hello from Ontario. Slim pickings up here for the above mentioned models. Looking for a facelifted C30 R-Design/Polestar/Kpax (one can dream for the latter two) with a manual transmission. Canada would be best but possibly interested in a US model (never imported a car before).

Please let me know if anything you might have seen or have for sale!

Not sure I have recalled seeing an R-design C30. Polestar yes. You can add that with a software update from Volvo. What is Kpax?

There are R-Design C30's. Pretty common in the US, not so much in Canada and even less so in manual. The polestar you're referring to is the tune, Im referring to the 1/250 edition (couple for sale right now in the US but both are automatic).

The Kpax edition is a 1/25 that came with 19's, an exhaust, and some other things. I had the chance to buy one in 2021 on Swedespeed but passed on it (covid financials and such, ya know) and regret it as it was in Canada and now it is in the US.

If you want a really sweet 1/1 C30, I hope you have access to Facebook Marketplace:

This is a 4WD 600bhp car which still needs a little work to finish.

Thank you for sharing, but I am only interested in the models from the title!
