T5R Wanted

T5RLover · Dec 28th, 2015, 16:06

Hi all

I am looking for a T5R Estate. I won't be able to buy it before the end of January, but I am genuinely looking for one. I am based in London, I'd prefer to buy one thats been loved and once I own it, it will be looked after and used daily. My preference would be for black or green, though yellow is cool too.

Thanks
Martin

How about this bad boy:

Just found this on the old interweb. Probably isn't as bad as it looks, just some slight cosmetic rebalancing & it'd be a good un. Probably a bit steep too - really only worth £1800 in that condition & an auto.

Good luck with the search, they're pretty thin on the ground now!

Thank you for that. I can't find an estate advertised anywhere. I don't think I could live with that one as it would take too much to get it back to how it should look (The orange paint etc.). I am really grateful for your post, thank you.
All the best

That makes 2 of us !!

Just to make you feel good I have been searching for 6 months and Dana has been on the look out for 4 months for me and no joy.

Like me you will have faced the same dilemma - motas I would describe as dog and whether they are dog or mint owners demanding silly money even when they need significant work. I have walked away on several occasions.

When I last spoke with Dana he had sold the green one - I hope for your sake this proves to be incorrect, although I have never seen it in the flesh it is a crackin looking motor from the images but regrettably for me an auto, owise I would hav snapped it up a couple of months ago !

Best of luck

Thanks Kevvy and Bigfella

I have spoken to Dana and I am going to see him in late January. I can't really buy anything till I get back from a work trip, I've got too much on my plate till the end of January.

RE The Yellow T5R, are they really £10K cars, even in great condition? It doesn't make sense to me.

Your question really follows on from my initial reply - a T5R gul is a £10k car - if you are stupid enough to pay it and lucky enough to have some mug offering it !

There was one on eBay shortly before Christmas 130 k on the clock, looked in v good condition. The woman selling could not even be bothered to reply to my emails yet it went for £5600 I believe. As I said previously if is a real battle - oh and yes she was yet another one professing to be insistent on selling to an enthusiast - don't make me laugh !

If you see a nice manual in mint condition please let me know, don't know if you fussy about transmission but if I see anything not suitable for me will let you know.

I can see me ending up with more than one Volvo Estate. Its the perfect thing for me. I had an ML Merc and I chopped that for a Jag XJ TDVi, then got bored of paying for the upkeep (Ridiculous stuff like light ballasts going 3 times and cat pipes) and bought a new C4 Citroen. Its just not big enough, nor fun enough, so its going. I've got 2 kids, I want something that can eat the motorway up when we all travel. I reckon I might end up with a T5R and a V70R AWD Manual.

Your desire to have fun is clearly far deeper than my pocket ! If you are interested I have just spoken to Dana and he has acquired an S60R in the very sought after mid blue the name of which I cannot recall.

I can just picture this and the 850 gul you are after on your drive ..............

Dana had also just acquired a gul 850r which needs a lot of work ..............
