    Low mileage t5s?

    Has anyone seen any really low miles t5s or Rs cos I think they are rare now , Just think how rare they will be , iwas offered a t5 with 55k on from main dealer £6000 and that was xmas 2002. Im sure it would be worth buying one and wraping it up carefully who knows 10-20 years 15-20k. And a very special t5. Anyone know or own 1 of less than 100k?

    Low mileage confirmed.

    1995 T-5R, 57k and climbing, the weekend trip to Darkest Kent should put another couple of hundred on her. Contrary to the impression of one VT5 member who suggested a little tampering had taken place I can confirm that the previous owner (there was only one) confirmed the mileage as genuine, the local Volvo dealerships computer system confirmed the mileage as genuine and the last documented Volvo service garage did the same. So Adam, your guess at the mileage was only 100 thousand miles out

    Defo , well done matt , If I was you and I could afford a second 850r , I would buy another for everyday use and hid5 the 57k r in a heated well vented garage just turning over now and then and Useing it in bullet proof nice weather to keep the millage down and spanking clean( I know not the real world). I think yours must be very rare as most T5s have been well used now with over 100k but with years to go.
    Did you buy 2nd hand or New?
    If 2nd hand did you have to search hard?

    Secondhand....literally. Spotted it in Autotrader but really wanted a yellow one. I still phoned up though just for details. I was told a chap was going up to Newcastle Under Lyme from Wales so it was essentially his. I called later just to ask and it transpired he never turned up. So the whole family duly trooped up there from Suffolk with first option. Saw it, fell for it and told the bloke we would have it. He was a decent chap and refused to take a deposit, put it into the local Volvo dealer had it serviced, put new rear discs and pads on, new exhaust tailpipe and cambelt. Two weeks later I drove her home 135 back down the M something or other eating cossies as we went past Donnington.
    A few hundred quid for RICA and an AirCon Evaporator that needs replacing later the grin hasn't worn off yet.

    My brother bought an 854 T5-R with a genuine 57k on the clock back in April 08 but the box wasn't right so as it was bought from a dealer it went back for a refund...
