Interesting. I'm gonna be going up to the mountains a lot this winter so I definitely need some winter tires, my mom has all season tires and they work with anything less than an inch of snow on the road, and I'm thinking about moving out to Colorado to the Denver/Ft. Collins area so if I hit up the mountains there I think snows would be a good idea. I like the idea of some real cheap steelies. Another alternative is I have a pretty much new set of snows on my volvo which are 215/55/16 which according to common sense won't fit on stock p5 wheels, but I could get a set of 16x8.5 with the right offset and use my volvo snows. Otherwise I'd definitely go with a cheap junkyard pair of steelies, $100 for a set of winter rims sounds pretty good to me.
I'm thinking about heading down to the philly area (west chester) this weekend and picking up an '02 p5 with 80k on it.
This Guy. I've just gotta talk it over with my dad a bit more, work out logistics and then call the guy up and figure out the price. Unfortunately I'm gonna be using a bank check so I've gotta figure out all the finances before we go down, so I've gotta argue the price just on what I can see from pics. But by looking at the condition I'm prepared to over pay a little, I think around 7k would be pretty solid for it. KBB value on the car in excellent condition is 7.5k and it looks like theres some rusting in the engine bay and other spots, nothing bad by any means, but it's not an immaculate grandma car.
Anybody wanna buy a 2000 volvo s80 2.9 with 160k on it, super reliable, yours for the one time only price of 3.5k
So talked to the guy in PA and I'm gonna go down this weekend and pick up the car with everything for a cool $7,260 (which I'm happy about!) Fun build thread incoming Saturday night!!!
