S40/V50 T5 Wanted Mods Waiting. HELP Please

aalleexx19 · Aug 12th, 2015, 09:17

After either a S40 or V50 2.5 T5 Fwd. Under 100k miles.
Looking to pay £3000-£4000 may go higher.

I loved my S40 t5 but someme managed to crash into the side of it parked on the road. Had 284bhp out of it. Mods waiting to go on include full 3' exhuast, Do88 intercooler, Black Diamond brakes, K & N air filter and will need remapping again.

Any help would be appreciated as theres not a lot out there ATM.

I've got one but I'm not selling it lol They are rare these days. Could you get a Focus ST instead since they are easier to find?

Half in my head I do want to sell my T5 and get a blob eye Impreza, but then I'm worried I'll regret it since I've just done all the suspension and bushes on the Volvo. Then if the Impreza blows up, I'll wish I never sold my T5 because I'll not be able to get another one in as good condition

Why would I want a worse built car and so many of them about.

Sorry I can't help sourcing one at the moment but I guess you've already broadened your search criteria on Autotrader etc. Also try Gumtree etc or even Northern Ireland?

I've had my T5 for 6 years now, they take a fair amount of upkeep for them to be in peak working order (suspension, brakes, air-con etc) and am beginning to wonder whether rarity will increase their value soon?
