wow cool I just won a Volvo t5 on ebay

**thesoundcriminal** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 14:53

I just got myself this t5

Volvo 850 T5 Estate. In very good condition for year and a lovely car to drive.

There is under 118000 on the clock as you can see in picture.

There are two small dents, one on the drivers wing and one on the tailgate (left hand side). These can also be seen in the pictures.

There are a few scratches as expected for a car of this age.

All tyres are in very good condition.

There is a small tear on the drivers seat, otherwise the interior is in good condition.

There are two keys with vehicle but no alarm fob.

I am really chuffed http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270671186282

So now I need to get the lowered springs of the old one the rad v70 lights spoiler, wheels. what other parts are likely go? turbo and the intercooler ed before I take the rest to the scrappy. If anyone one wants another bits let me know

Good price

**The Flying Moose** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 15:01

Bloody hell £355! I would feel like I have stolen it.

Nice to see it has an R bumper too, a rare colour the grey my last 855 was that colour and it looks really nice.

If you have the time rip everything off the old one, everything that could save you spending money to replace worn/damaged parts is a bonus. Plus you never know what little parts people may need.

What a priced!!! I could not believe it. I been out on staff Christmas do last night and was bit hungover and all that, and I fell asleep about an hour before the auction was due to end. I was going to go up to £500 but I did not put the bid on. I woke up think oh balls I forgot to bid I checked my old bid and found out I won wow. £355 a real bargain.

I am really stoked and only 3 owners.

**thesoundcriminal** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 18:03

**claymore** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 18:05

If yours is as good as mine has been for the last couple of years, you'll be laughing

**willi** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 18:17

Well done matey... lol

**Phuturephantasy** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 19:32

That's only about 9 miles away from me..

Must have missed that one as been looking for an estate on ebay

**thesoundcriminal** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 20:33

well I think it must have been meant to be. I just love the expectation of getting a car on ebay. A R type front bump seems promising, I think the three owners does it for me you don't keep a car long unless its a good`en

3 owners dont mean nothing mate, i mean your car still hasn't been looked after if it has dents over it

that's not fair Frank, your car has key scraches over it, that doesn't mean you havent looked after it.

my car has dent's in both the passanger doors, but ask anyone who has driven it, and they'll tell you it drives like a car with half the milage.

It was this old trader who said that to me years ago when I bought a Ford Granada it was a good car as well actually. I do think its logical, if your happy with a car you don't sell it, you keep it.

**96T5Andy** · Sunday 5th December 2010, 21:05

nice one. saw that one one there and thought about bidding on it as its really local to me - not that I need it but it seemed a good price. didnt expect it to go so low though - and the r bumper and dent in front wing mde me worry about a front end collision. desciption ws a bit lacking too.. which probably helped with the low price! noticed in the images the numberplate says formula cars which is a local indy volvo specialist which may be a good sign...

I hope it works out alright and even if it doesn't its so cheap you don't need to worry too much!

good luck

well i say it says formula cars - it actually just says "form" in the photos so i might be wrong...

Well done

**Ade** · Monday 6th December 2010, 09:34

Bloody cheap!

Should take the sting out of tidying it up and any issues that need sorted.
Wish mine was that cheap!

**thesoundcriminal** · Wednesday 8th December 2010, 17:58

Yes thats why i got it. I got a lot of choice bits on my old 850 black leather, lowered springs, mushroom air filter, MBC. So it should look cool soon as well. Now I need some moose stickers and some forum stickers as well.
