[sold] [ebay] 95' 850T5R

Nice , but what's an 'economical write off'?

economical write off = non-statutory write off.

Safe to fix but not economically viable, at retail prices anyway.

titans and badges missing could say something more is astray. The Interior is T5R

I was more curious about the passenger side dash? not to be "that guy" though.

airbag cover common sun damage item....Good thing it is just a standard 850 part.

Hard bits would be the specific 850 T5R bits ....wheels, seats, spoilers etc.

I wonder what the write off damage was. A black T5R is not a common beast.
$5000 is a fair asking price if you really wanted that model.

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't know that one.

I do have to admit I like it in Black.

Probably, but ends up being same-same.

I think the concept is that a vehicle can be written off for a couple of reasons

1. Economical reasons (economical write-off)
2. Statuatory (legislative) reasons (statutory write-off)

had a look at this on the weekend. not bad. the guy has spent a lot on it, koni suspension, new brakes etc. paint is pretty stuffed. lots of minor cosmetic issues, cracks, clips etc. motor seems to run well and boosts up nicely, gears change nicely, rides well. had a mate who is a volvo specialist check it out and he says chassis has done 345000 kms. motor is apparently low km swap with approx 80,000 on it, but havent seen paperwork to confirm.
was (still am) tempted but looking at putting my gtir pulsar on the road instead. see what happens

Is there really only 30 t5r's delivered to australia? Cheers mark
