I bought my 1998 Volvo S70 T5 (5 Speed) off from Craigslist in New Hampshire. The car was first posted for 2500, but it needed a new CV Joint, Brakes, Intercooler, Exhaust (which I didn't know about until I traveled 4 hours to see the car). I could see that the car had a lot of potential, so My dad, Grandpa and I talked it over. I offered the guy 1800, and he took it. It is an investment considering all the work tht needs to be done to it. The car only has 112K miles on it, which is one reason that I purchased it. I needs a lot of other deeds to get it running at top notch. It needs a new paint job on the hood, both bumpers, spoiler and trunk lid. It also needs new fog lights and the Sunroof needs work. It's going to be a fun car to get going!
