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

😊
I understood that and accepted that might be all I can find. However if there are any wagons near you that'd be better.

BTW last few weeks, I have repeatedly thought about a wagon-to-pickup conversion to pair with the trailer once I'm done with the trailer.

Did you reach out the Riverhead NY for that 1998 Wagon? Probably in budget for car plus transport.

We could also Stage zero it here for the trip if you are game (but thats a flight here of course)

I don't remember that one. Can you please leave details on that? This occassional chat is killing me. I'll message you my contact info. I found another pictured below. Volvo 855, $900, dead battery. Blue or black (don't want black). They said it has no other issues. He/she is near you. If it's a 96 or 97 model, I would be happy to get more details about it if you are able to go look at it.

I’m still overseas and internet is spotty. I’m trying to minimize my $5 a piece texts too

😀

I’ve got a couple of sedans in decent shape but only one 1998, Tosh. She is in my maintenance thread with some pics.

There is a 1998 wagon for sale in Riverhead Ny that is an hour away, the owner just reached out to me and she is still for sale.she isn’t mine do I have not named her, but Riveria seems obvious. I have not seen her. She might be getting moved closer this month.

Back next Thursday

$5 is crazy! Please take pictures of natuere and the countryside. Id love to get nature pics in my email! I have a pic album just for God and nature.

Yes I saw tosh. Not bad! I did contact the owner in Riverside. But after talking to him, I realized I probably cant get any that Im unable to see in person.

At the same time, Im looking at a potential one north of me. I already found a car dolly to rent. I need to install a 5 way trailer harness tomorrow and do a tune up on Tuesday for this potential trip on Thursday. If I follow through on this, Ill take a teaser selfie from driver seat through back window so yall have something until I can get back on.
