One of the things I wanted to do before I sold it to buy my Disco was to get a Turbo V70 or 850 wagon and rip the 5 speed out of my 850 to build a 5 speed Turbo Wagon

Decent condition (subject to the POST purchase inspection I'm getting at the local Volvo independent right now) with some cosmetic issues. Manual trans V70Rs with reasonable miles sell in minutes. It's crazy. An identical car showed up on swedespeed Saturday morning at 7:30AM. By the time I contacted the poster at 10AM, a deposit was on its way. I learned that cars can show up on CarFax the moment they are taken in trade. In the case of this car, the "Internet Manager" at the dealer didn't even know they had it. They finally put it on AutoTrader on Friday but didn't note the transmission type. I was expecting an auto, in fact. Once I saw the manual, I was done. Ask was 10,800. My first offer was $6k. :) Plenty of cosmetic issues - mostly bumpers and wheels - but the interior is pretty clean and it seems to have been well serviced at a Volvo dealer. Shockingly good in the snow, even on Conti DWS tires.

I saw one of these 6 speed V70R Wagons, once and only once. Same with the audi allroad, only one 6 speed

Bumping this because I just bought my first wagon. I already found a replacement tailgate since the original is rusty and am fixing a few mechanical issues before getting it on the road. It has a fuel injected 406 with roller cam, 700r4, 4 wheel disk brakes, and some other goodies.

In reply to Cotton:

Cool car. The world needs more 2 door wagons. It is an awesome mix of practicality and impracticality.

In reply to Cotton:

I like that color with those wheels. Your wagon is much cooler than my wagon.
