There is no such thing as an average T5-R, only T5s with an 'R' glued on the back...

I'd consider offers as low as £1750, but I think that if someone has decided they want a a genuine T5-R and they don't have 2 or 3 of them already they might pay a bit more for one.

Yeah, they don't seem to like new members.

They seem to like passing comments about Volvoforums.org too...


If you doubt the car, let me know if any of you meet up in the South East and I'll come over for you to check it out and have a test drive.

The seller appears to be.....

a big bellend

(no offence!)

If you're even thinking about looking at this car, read the T5D5 thread posted previously.

with comedy e-bay listings (10K for a plate worth a grand at best, reduced from 35k etc....) and numerous negative feedbacks about the advert, I'd steer clear personally - there's plenty of nice examples around from sellers who don't encounter such issues.

sorry, you misunderstand me, I don't think your car is worth anywhere near £1750, if it was a decent car it would be worth that. yours made it's price last time at £1050, and the bloke still had the sense to walk away.

Exactly. There are always a number of T5R and R's in the classifieds for £1500-£2250, with a couple of T5D5 members buying 2 850R's and one was the grey estate on here a few weeks back. All straight, honest adverts and sales with straight forward, realistic pricing.

There was also another T5R in gull yellow mentioned the other month by a member, accepting that whilst it was in need of TLC it was an honest car. Not sure if that's sold now or still available.
