I am in the process of clearing my garage ready for a new business venture, this includes all my volvos and the related parts so the Volans that were on my T5 are here to sell.
17' Volans
Dark Grey
Spare pot of paint to touch up.
I have four wheels which were refurbed about two years ago and are now starting to show a few marks, the worst being where my wife kerbed one around a quater of the rim, minimal damage but it lifted the paint which shows much more on dark grey rims.
They still clean up very well and set the car off really nicely.
I was hopeing for something around the £575 mark for them but am open to offers however i will not be giving them away, as i know how difficult they are to come by.
They will be on ebay by the weekend so i am giving you the first chance to buy.

I think your being seriously over optimistic with that price, however stranger things have been known on Ebay, good luck I hope you get what you want for them.

As i said 'Hopeing for'. What i get may be completely different.
I have watched any that have turned up recently and they seem to sell for around the £85 each mark, and those are usually in serious need of refurb. Mine are far from that!

Thing is, for an extra £325 you could get a whole tested 850R (manual) attached to them...

Do it - you know you want to...
I cannot see how that purchase would be anything but a win win. I mean, it may be pants, but would be resellable at that price more or less. Sounds like it has a reasonable history even if it is HIGH miles, but looks as if it has some expenditure on it. Damn, I am so tempted - without even looking at it. Pity it ain't red...
Honestly, I have not seen a cheaper manual R for quite a while. Apart from the one with AP brakes that went for less than a grand before Xmas on Ebay!!! WEEEEEEP!!!

With a green T5, a Green T5R, A E30 325i Touring, A blue Landrover Defender and a Vw Caddy Van on my drive at present, If i put another car on my drive, let alone another Volvo my wife would have me living in them!
Though come to think of it i might actually have more living space that way?!!

So buy it, flog the Volans, and you will only pay I would think £650 for it set against what I reckon you will get for the Voles.

As much as possible?!
No honestly i feel they are worth £100 each to me, but i can only go down on price cant i, so i felt the need to start with some wiggle room?!
The Ebay Auction is reserve not met, and i would much prefer to sell to someone on here than Ebay.
As i said before i need the space and money for my new business, but im not going to give them away. If they can add a few hundred to the sale price of either my T5 or T5r then im happy to let them go that way. if not they can be added to my shed. I still have a set of E28 M5 wheels in the shed and i havent had that car for over a decade now?!
