Should i pursue this or let it go?
"Up for sale is my 1995 850 T-5R wagon. It is Black on Black with the 17" Titan wheels. The car has 96,800 miles on it, of which I logged about 1k miles since purchase in Sept 2005. The car was modded when I bought it and is running very well. Visually, it is in anywhere from very good to fair condition for a 11-year old car. Here is a brief walk-around of the car:
Black leather/alcantera interior on Black paint
Interior is in excellent/clean condition. No rips/cracks or stains
Car is rust-free
6-disc trunk changer
3rd row seat
Dash has one small (fixed) blemish
Front spoiler has some chipped paint
Car was keyed on the passenger side fender (touched-up)
Hood has some small paint defects around the water knozzles
All wheels have some curb rash
No dents, and maybe a few small dings
A/C blows VERY cold
H&R / Bilstein HD suspension on both front and rear
IPD/TME full exhaust system
Pod-mounted analog boost gauge
Stainless brake lines and slotted rotors up front
New/upgraded high-pressure turbo (unknown make)
Upgraded ECU/chip (unknown make)
Aftermarket downpipe (unknown make)
Cone intake filter (no heat shield)
Aftermarket keyless/alarm system
Dark window tint all-around
After purchasing the car, I had a top to bottom inspection done on the car at Rawbear Performance in NJ, a Volvo-only specialist. I wanted the car to be extremely reliable and "set up" properly, if required. The check came back very positive, with exception to the following repairs that I had performed:
Inspection of timing belt (checked, recently replaced prior to purchase)
Transmission fluid flushed and replaced
Passenger side control arm replaced
Motor mount replaced
Coolant flushed and replaced
Rear caliper seized (replaced, along with rotors and pads)
Synthetic oil change
Instrument panel / speedo gear replaced
On Carfax, it shows that the car was primarily a California car. It was involved in a fender bender in the past after being brought to NY state. This is evident by the fair-level paint job on the hood. Based on the car's history, modifcations, and general condition, I am asking $6,600. The car would be a perfect daily driver, but is by no means a show-car. I've attempted to be as conservative as possible in my description of the car, so as not to mislead anybody. The car looks good, sounds great, and runs very well, if not a little harsh due to the suspension set-up. I am selling the car because the ride is too harsh for my old bones, and I have no need for a "performance" car."
according to the current owner,he is the foruth owner. Sounds like alot people has owned this car to me. Is this a bad thing?
Thank you for all advice and criticisms.
