I’ve got a pretty nice 1998 turbo s70 in Nautic blue I could get to you for about 3k delivered if I don’t do a donor on it locally. I have a 2000 wagone even cheaper but can’t get to thst until next year earliest. I can only do one a month or so at most

Specs guide:
No black/dark gray/red paint
no AWD
90-95 700/940 wagon turbo
96-98 960 wagon (most preferred)
96-98 fwd sedan(fine) or wagon(preferred)

Location guide:
Oklahoma: east of Lawton, southeast of Guthrie, south from Tulsa
Texas: north of Waco, east of Weatherford
Arkansas: west of Little Rock, southwest from Fayetteville/Springdale
Louisiana: northwest from Shreveport

You have all the symptoms of Car Hoarding disease. No known cure, but when you get a couple dozen, it my be stable.

That's alright. As long as it's not 99 and newer. Can you please PM me or attach pictures and mileage and timing belt maintenance?

I need help getting a buyer for my Toyota. If I can get the Toyota gone then I can get another loan for a volvo. They would have to come to my bank to buy it, though.

What car transporter company do you trust? I may have found a super deal.

Do you still have Tosh? If so, does 'she' have any rust? Any 96-98 wagons (minimal rust) in your driveway or near you that are good that you think you can get here under $4,000?

My only wagon is lying in slumber in DE and it’s a 2000. Spring earliest for that one

Tosh is a 1998 s70 so a wagon conversion would be needed.
