I don't know the owner or the car personally, but I posted this in the 'Findings' section, but have seen the link didn't work. Add has been updated with lowered price. Seems like a good deal and if it were a wagon.......! Approx. $3300 US and just under 100,000 miles.

If anyone wants to come view/buy the car, feel free to contact me and you are welcome to stay with us in Calgary. Again I don't know the person, but believe it is a possibly good buy for an enthusiast.

Since I posted this earlier, it has been re-posted at $4250 CDN (about $3250 US).

As the ad has been changed yet again, the link was broken, so the price as stated above is $4250 CDN

Car has sold to a Calgary enthusiast 'highwaykiller' who has a post in the P80 section asking about help on a auto to manual trans swap. I hope to meet him tomorrow to discuss me possibly buying a 98 V70T5 manual from him. Glad he bought it as I have been fighting the urge to buy it!!

Glad I didn't buy it or go to see it. Apparently it was not as good as claimed by a long way.

But more importantly, will you get the V70T5M?

Post by **scot850** » 09 Dec 2016, 19:07

Plan is to have the V70T5M delivered tomorrow but the temp is in the -30C range and the drivers seat needs to be re-installed. The owner is then driving it over to my house so I can give it a thorough going over for issues over a few days. If it checks out then it may well stay! Issues are the panel repairs, the heater core and a leak into the passenger compartment (hence the seat removal). Those are the 'known' issues, the inspection can be done then at my leisure in a heated garage. Time constraints are down to a 3 1/2 month old crazy teething mix breed puppy (La/Husky/who-knows what).
