Post by **Glencoeteen** » 26 Nov 2011, 19:45

HEY EVERY ONE!!!! okay well I am thinking about getting back into another volvo, those that remember me know that i had a 98xc70, 98 S70 T5 and a 04 Xc90 T6, all which i loved the most. well honestly I loved the XC70 the most. Tomorrow I am going to look at a red, 00 XC70 and if it checks out good, then I will work out a deal and hopefully drive it home! I am honestly excited, then it would be off to the other side of portland to Ipd for some improvement's. anyways I am getting ahead of my self, Its been a couple months since i have checked in on everyone! i hope all is well! and look forward to being back in the volvo scene. i have big plans this time!

Good luck with the XC70. Hope you get it. If you do, post up some pictures here for us.

no go on the XC, or XC90, I looked at 5 of them!!!! and they were all over prices and a total let down! the only good one i found was a 00 XC70 SE but had 145k and they wanted 8k for it! I am really bummed out, i had two great volvo's that I let go for way to cheap....

Good used Volvos are getting harder and harder to find.

+1

That goes for all used cars actually. Unless you are looking for a manual transmission.

Last time I was looking for a car (2007), I couldn't find ANYTHING besides a Civic with a manual transmission. Said Civic already had 200,000 miles on it at the time. I wanted a Jeep Cherokee in one, but they just don't exist after say, 1993.

That said, I'm actually re-thinking getting another manual. I love it, but if I'm moving to a big city with a lot of traffic...well, let's just say I did a lot of driving in my parents car with a manual transmission in traffic and MY FOOT REALLY HURT. Stupid I-95.

Really? They have a good amount of them around here in NJ. I got my mazdaspeed 6 for about 5k under KBB because they could not sell the car being it is a manual. No one around here knows how to drive a stick it seems, either that or they don't want to.

I saw that actually, when I was looking for 2004-2005 Honda Civics. There are NO EX 4-door manuals in the South, but there were tons within like a 30-mile radius up there.

I wonder why that is?

I don't know, but I am not complaining. It makes it easier for guys like me that still know how to drive stick.

Way to highjack my post guys!!!! anyways I found my ole S70 T5 for sale on a local dealer lot, now he's asking way to much for it, but I plan on going and checking her out and see how what shape she is in, Since I know 80% of her history up till i sold her about a year and half ago I might just Trade in the F350 Diesel and get her back. then again can this site handle me coming back?
