I honestly never thought I’d sell this car, but here’s the honest reason why: I’ve been slowly amassing all the parts to take the car to Stage 3, and I have everything I need. Except time. And the 16T is starting to leak oil, and I’ve got a CEL for what I assume is the J-pipe. I had @ScottishBrick build a hybrid 19T, but as soon as I replace the leaking turbo for the sick new/improved turbo, I’ve gotta do everything else, including tune it. While that all sounds great, I just can’t afford the time for me to get it all done OR having another vehicle down for that long. (My wife’s ’11 C30 RD M66 was down for over four months after hitting a tire on the interstate “totaled” it). So, I’ve replaced it with something different for my daily, and now I’m looking for someone else who understands/appreciates how rare this car is and has the time to take it where I couldn’t.
In the just past four years, I’ve flown/driven to PA, FL, NC (twice) to buy stick shift Volvos, so I know the challenges of buying a car out-of-state. I’m happy to work with any interested parties and provide narrated walkaround or driving videos and answer whatever questions you might have so you feel confident that you know what you might be coming to get. I’m asking $6950 for the car and all the parts you need to have Hilton write you a Stage 3 tune.
