A couple of S70 T5's in the SF Bay Area

I'm always fascinated by T5's. I no longer have T5 envy and am plenty happy with my '98 GLT, but they're rare enough around here that when one comes up I can't help but be interested, if only out of curiosity. These both look pretty tasty to me, but I'm wondering what sayeth the experts?

I think they will both sit at that price. Let’s check back in a week.

One has the classic listing of maintenance costs trying to justify the price, with a salvage title to boot.

I like to think I could get this for my T5M which is totally unrealistic

Listing for the first one is gone. The second one for $4000 looks a lot like mine which I paid $1800 for in the Allentown, PA area. I also had a fair amount of service documentation for work done. Mine now has 156k and is in similar condition. Mine is black, which I like, but the silver paint looks great.

It's in pretty nice shape, but maybe more realistic if it had a manual transmission. (I bought my '98 T5 wagon with 200k miles for $400, though it needs a new steering rack.)
