Now why would anyone hang 10 'little trees' in their car? wink, wink

The 2.5T of that gen uses the old engine which was bullet proof over my ownership from 240k km to 300k km.
Friend, I'm new to the forum. Tell me. I'm from Poland, Central and Eastern Europe. Is this willow green metallic color rare, and is it possible to find a car like this with low mileage and in good condition these days?

Volvo missed the mark with P3 for us. If I ever buy one more Volvo, it would be no later than P2.
I am with you on this, anything newer than what I have right now (06' V70) would be a P2 XC90. They made plenty of them so I would think there will still be a couple of nice ones around in a few years.
98' S70, base, 5-speed manual, pewter/ tan, 145k miles
99' S70, base, 5-speed manual, nautic blue/ tan, 225k miles, currently inop
06' V70, auto, willow green/ charcoal, 147k miles
79' Ford Capri S, Euro Spec 2.8 V6, T9 5-speed manual, owned since 1986
58' Porsche Diesel Junior
13' Honda Odyssey :oops:
84' Mercedes 300 D, gold/ tan, 420k miles (retirement project :D )

Willow green is not a common color in Canada but they do exist. One of my friends has an XC70 in that color.

My next Volvo is a 2004 black metallic with blue interior V70R that needs a bunch of repairs but has great compression and fewer miles than the rest of the fleet! A 6-speed manual swap is on the long horizon!
