Looking to get back into volvo ownership and would like an early coupe with auto , turbo,and leather.
looking for a bangernomics special , any specific problems with them , I have owned a couple of 850's and a S70 5T .
Over to the PH knowledge base .

Thanks Morgp , I would like to find a dark colour with dark leather interior ,the right wheels , slightly lowered and a later grill in satin black is the way I would like to go .

Whats the problem with throttles . How easy are speedo sensors to replace ?
my last S70
later grill , very expensive chrystal headlights with HID and late model indicators

[grumpy52]

Best engine to go for ?
2.3t seems to be most powerful as standard .
My last s70 was a 2.5 with a Rica upgrade to 240 bhp and 315 torques.
I have spotted a nice looking grey one but its only a 2ltr .

I have a bid on a gold /orange/tangerine one on the bay of e at the moment ,
looks like it needs a speedo / abs sensor problem sorting .

Unfortunately I have had to cancel bids on the Volvo as I will be very restricted for a couple of months having fractured my left foot (two bones ,one in the heel )
A mate is lending me his E39 523 AUTO bimmer .

Finally got one !
1999 2.5 t auto dark blue met , beige leather .
slight rumble from a front wheel bearing (supplied)
Has a couple of bits of paint to do .
Number plate is worth what I have paid for the car.
later grill already ordered.
I will slowly do the upgrades as work, weather and finance permits .
