I am selling my 98 T5 140k. Any suggestions about how to reach Volvo owners or wannabees.I have every receipt from every service, repair etrc....think this adds to car value?

A Volvo nut will not buy a Volvo without service records. That will add at least $1,000 to the current value.

Some guy on Swedespeed gave me a hard time.....I had replaced the T belt at 69k but it came off at 90k (tensioner problem)...needless to say the dealer charged me $4500 to make the interference repairs. Car been running great since then but apparently some feel the car is worthless now...I don't lie about stuff so I will not hide that fact when I sell. Does this repair really damage the profile of the car that much?

I quit going over to sweedspeed a long time ago, too many prima donnas :)

The fact that you cared enough to get new valves and pistons rather than a used engine from a junk yard makes your car better than before!!!
Sounds like he was just trying to get a "steal".

If you have Craigslist in your area, it is free. Also, there is a www.v70r.com which has good people and ads.

Try the "Classifieds" over at "Swedespeed" and "Volvospeed". They like turbos with maintenance histories.
