If it's as good as it sounds it would be a shame to sell it as scrap. Surely you'd find someone to pay you your asking price, might need to hold off scrapping it for a couple of weeks though :)

local garage only had 1 which i have been haggling over for the past week and in red which i think looks the dogs although black would have been nice.the volvo was my dads friends which i purchased from him with a view to upgrade and make a lot faster for my son but it seems such a shame to touch an original looked after t5.

[M-R-P]

DAMMIT! just blew 200 quid on shocks, 48 quid on polybushes, 88 quid on disks, 50 quid on tranny oil, 25 quid on a catch tank blah blah blah. Want a mint one! 182k in 9 years isn't preferable! gonna stick with her tho:) (she owes me too much! lol)

[darkar26]

come on people no matter where you are in the uk you can get to me before 8am and drive away in a faultless t5 estate.shame i never posted pictures of the car from the beginning cause youd all come at once lol.

[darkar26]

hi martin bloody shame mate as you are only up the road from me.

[darkar26]

shes an investment im sure of it and probably worth a lot more

[darkar26]

all 5 tyres are 4 months old

[M-R-P]

I know, but ffs, don't scrap it so soon, some people may not be able to get to you before 8 tomorrow;)

[darkar26]

Sounds nice, don't see too many in red. But the MR's do look good in red because you can see where Mitsi left the edges of the spoiler grey and it highlights the darker wheels and carbon spoiler blade alot more. If it hasn't got them get yourself a carbon vortex generator and carbon lower front spoiler it finishes these off a treat :)

[darkar26]

i know where your coming from but shes got to go,im off on holiday at 9.45 tomorrow thats why shes going to scrap at 8.15.to be honest the car should be going on a forecourt for sale and not a breakers yard.:(

[merc85]

I say Scrap it, And thats the way it's going to go.

If it's as good as you are saying post a pic, I sold a 113k Volvo 1997 7 Seater in top spec for £895, With pic's i may ad.

Your MINT and someone elses idea of mint may be different.

She was a nice clean car, You should be able to sell her for alot more if its as good as you say.

[darkar26]

signing off now but a big thanx to all who responded and great site thankyou
