As much as I don’t want to, I think it’s time to let the T5 go. I’ve replaced springs, shocks, spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor but haven’t gotten to the steering rack, which is leaking. I’d love for it go to someone who’ll appreciate it! Nearly 204k miles on the odometer. Located in NJ. (It has 15” Volvo rims on it, not the ones pictured.)

If you or I can figure out a way to get it from there to Oklahoma, then I'd probably talk to you about picking it up in the next month or two. I'm planning to sell my Odyssey.

Probably $1000 to ship, but that’s a nasty 1500 mile drive so 30 hours plus travel plus $300in gas plus $300 other stuff , food

I would pack in two weeks overtime over that

It felt at one with the forest when I took it to upstate New York. And it still shines!

Hi there!

I’m open to offers on the price. It doesn’t have any significant rust that I’ve noticed. (My silver V70 used to live near the ocean and has a little, but the T5 isn’t near salt water.) It was previously owned by a doctor in South Carolina, and I bought it from his grandson in Brooklyn.

I added a bunch of pictures below. The window seal appears to be in good shape, and I the moon roof works with no leaks. Please let me know if you want any more info or photos.

Thanks!
Bruno

I'm pretty sure this is the green that I'm going to be painting my custom V70 trailer.

Is there any rust under the indicated trim?
