I've only ever seen one, in Korea. It was a pickup.

I see these very occasionally in Ontario, along with the Stellar. I dunno how they survived the salt.

I know the picture isn't washington but is there any way this is a Seattle ad? this guy looks exactly like a local mentally ill abortion/animal rights activist that I got a bunch of emails about from a shelter I volunteer at, if it is a Seattle ad that dude's a rapist or something. I know, long shot, but I read something about subarus on that guy's blog and had to ask.

1998 Volvo V70R AWD Sport Wagon Black/Black

153XXX Miles
  • 1998 Volvo V70R AWD
  • 2.3 5-cylinder Turbocharged & Intercooled
  • 247 Horsepower
  • AWD
  • MANUAL 6 spd Transmission
  • 153,XXX Miles
  • Power Everything
  • Heated Seats
  • Sunroof
  • 6 Disc CD Changer

My buddy who was a Volvo master mechanic customized this wagon to have a 6spd manual transmission. It has lots of other nice bits like the strut tower stabilizer, front and rear IPD sway bars, Bigger Breaks, the 17" wheels from the convertible, a British gauge pack where the speedo goes to 160mph. Lots more. The bad news is that it's 17 years old. It's been my second car for about a year now and since I've only used it twice, I think it's time to go.

Please leave a number when emailing.

Thanks - Jeff

Nothing like finding a good deal until you realize it's a good 3 hour drive in the summer and now it's snowing and the pass is closed and it gets sold from underneath you.

The CXTs were kind of meant for that. Sorta. Well, that and pulling RV trailers and the like. Okay nobody ever figured out what they were really for, or bought the drat things for that matter.
I mean the DT466 is an engine you could easily live with as a DD with the right gearing and the Allison 2k series is one of the better automatic transmissions ever made. Air brakes would make it a pain in the rear end though- gotta go somewhere quickly? Too bad, you've got to wait for your poo poo to air up.

Pretty sure CXT has hydraulic brakes, to skirt the need for a CDL.

The one in the ad posted has air. And that depends on jurisdiction, around here if a truck has a single rear axle you can drive it on an ordinary license with no more than an air brake endorsement, which is attained with a quick multiple choice exam.

I used to briefly own a very broken down V70 manual AWD. It went to live on a farm in upstate new york. Hopefully it was parted and used wisely. There are only 6-7 of them in NA and there is another one in white for sale in Alberta. I have thought about trying it again sometimes.

Hell no, and lol hell no. S50 with a chip would barely be close to 250 from the factory, and I have no clue where he got that curb weight. 2900lbs is more realistic for an S5x/M5x swapped Ti.

It has some rarer OEM stuff, but in the end it's just a swapped Ti. Would not pay near e46 m3 money for that.

then I have to figure out whether to have his mechanic fix it, have it hauled up here, or drive it up with a couple gallons of transmission fluid.

I'm looking for a Tacoma pickup and the used market is absolutely bonkers. I have a craigslist search set up to send me an email when a new ad comes up. However, there is a two hour delay between when an ad posts and when I get the notification; I've lost out on 4 trucks because they sold before I got an email. That Volvo looks sweet. It makes me think back to the days when I had an 89 780 Bertone.

I'm sure someone here can give you a recommendation for a good mechanic in a town as big as San Diego. Maybe even a good Volvo-specific mechanic. You're going to have to get the seal replaced at some point anyway, why waste the money on transmission fluid ($) or a hauler ($$$)? Sure spending a night in San Diego is more expensive, but think of it as a mini vacation.

The drat invisible hand of the market. The next step is you'll get notifications for Tacomas that are, in your opinion, way overpriced. Then you can either pony up the extra dough or find a substitute truck, the whole time thinking 'I wish this was a Tacoma'.

Unless you're willing to spend some serious money on a Tacoma, get a Ranger instead. Dollar for dollar, what you get in a $3000 Ranger (at least in AZ) is a hell of a lot better than what you get in a $3000 Tacoma.

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

None, it was never spotted on any cameras anywhere. The Police said it was likely driven onto the back of a truck and straight to a chop shop for the parts or to a port out of the UK.
