Sad to sell Olga! She has been a great car since I bought her from Land Rover Winnetka(Chicago) in '97. I have most of the maintenance records since she was out of warranty and serviced exclusively by one local Indy shop. Bought a new Volvo and must let her go. Always been garaged up until last month. This car is a tank. I always felt so safe and it never let me down. It is a beast in the Winter with the extra set of wheels with Blizzaks on them. The current wheels are 16" swept turbos with good tires. I seemed to constantly bend the original 17" Volans around town and they were too expensive to keep replacing. Just had it into the mechanics and they said it was driving really well. I have noticed an occasion issue when cold starting. The car has always been a quick turn of the key and go. Sometimes it needs a few more seconds recently. It never happen when the shop had it of course! May need some tinkering. I don't have time to take it back and deal with it. Looking for a good home to a Volvo enthusiast. There is a lot of life left in this car. I have used this car loaded up for camping, hauling my stand up paddle board. There are some scratches in the paint on the roof. A few door dings and such. There is on scratch above the left rear wheel when I parked my Vespa too close and it caught the rack. I have brand new cans of touch up and clear coat that will go with the car. The only surface rust is new to appear near the left rear wheel well. Could be easily fixed. Drivers side seat has normal wear and tear and had a seam sewed years ago. The passenger seat seam needs repair in center bottom. Rear seats are great!Premium sound system. AC was totally replaced about 5 yrs ago. It uses about a quart of oil between changes. No biggie. Trans oil has been replaced in the past. Shifts smoothly.The engine still has great power and purrs along nicely. I still love driving this car. It is much more solid feeling than my new Volvo. This higher horsepower T5-R only came out mid-year 1995. Limited edition. Can we call it rare? Yes.Just as I was going to list it this week the heat shield above the exhaust started making noises. A friend clamped it for now. Arrggh! Timing! Battery is 3 years old and strong. Always starts right up in the winter. Please feel free to ask questions and I will edit and put more info and pics on tomorrow night.

There is a place in the front lower spoiler where I got to close to the lawnmower in the garage and it put a 5 inch flaw in it. I can email a photo if anyone wants to see that. Just cosmetic.The speedometer gear has been replaced a few years back. This is a common problem. Mileage is accurate.On Sep-18-14 at 20:50:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Check engine light is on. I have had my mechanic scan and reset it so many times. He thinks it is because we put a non-OEM catalytic convertor on it. Emission code stuff.
