Salvage Title Passion Red 2005 V50 T5 AWD M66 | SwedeSpeed

Read the whole post before reaching out; I’ll be happy to answer questions but I took time to be very detailed so you don’t feel bamboozled when you show up and see the car is 20 years old, almost 220k miles, and has a salvaged title and wont pass emissions. Buy it for a cheap commuter, track car, lift it, have fun with it, it is not a luxury car, I hauled my 2 car seats and kids in it but YMMV.

Hey it’s Max, up for sale is my v50. SHE’S NOT LIFTED ANYMORE. Here’s my build thread: https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/lifting-a-p1-v50-t5-awd-m66-spacers.612411/page-7

She starts, runs, drives, does city and highway well. AWD works, boosts well, consumes low amount of fluids. Battery is in good shape, tires have another year on them if you get an alignment. Will not pass emissions.

• Accident history: salvaged title from rear end collision
• Maintenance and service history: Orally available, lots of little receipts and notes but I was not meticulously writing down the maintenance records.

Very little steering wheel shake with the bigger Open Country’s, drivable in the city and on the highway.

A/C works well

NO EMISSIONS: Ready to daily as long as you don’t need to pass emissions (CEL for evap pump)

Clutch feels good, doesn’t slip

AWD functions

Manual transmission shifts well

Radio works and the center speaker premium audio still sounds great and better than my new car’s speakers

New ECU in 2022

2 Keys

All CV axles are in good shape and don’t show signs of failing. ¾ have been replaced since 2018.

Strut bearings done in January 2025

PCV done in 2021

Only burns about ½ qt oil and ¼ qt coolant between oil changes. Compression seems good and the transmission seems good.

Boost gauge, and new TCV installed 2020

Cons:
This is a salvage-title and heavily used car, clear coat peeling, dents and dings galore. Will not pass emissions with the CEL.​

Accident in January 2019 declared a total loss, rear ended; I installed a fresher rear hatch. That registers as being closed about ½ of the time. Paint peeling on hatch

CEL: evap pump fried

The heat DOES NOT WORK but will defrost in cold weather very slowly. heater core clog expected, and the A/C is perfect.

Needs alignment

No airbags (bad SRS module).

I’m the 3rd owner, imported from Sweden to Maine, then purchased by a couple in Colorado Springs, then I bought it in 2018. There is some surface rust on the underside of the car, and the rear driver’s side control arm lower strut bolt is seized.

6 CD player doesn’t work

Sunroof rattles so I took it out

Muffler delete, interior rattles, the headliner is dropping, there is a front end (loud) squeak in cold weather.

Some odds and ends are missing from the interior and exterior.

No stock RASB installed or included

Front leather seat torn
