You guys should know the details on this car already...i can link to photos and info if needed. I'm trying to post this ad while in a ton of pain so forgive me if I break any forum rules Ash.
Turns out I need 2 more procedures and BUPA is not covering all of the dr fees. I'm trying to locate another surgeon with a 0 gap but bupa told me they werent aware of any.
I need this volvo sold as-is....as fast as possible. Best offer over $2k gets it. I think that's more than fair.
Needs a turbo, found on ebay for $385shipped. A weekend of wrenching and you'd have a great daily. Runs and drives great, just lacks power from said turbo.

Bahaha!
Details, price and a link to a pic! Good boy, matty, I knew you could do it!

So I take it by the lack of responses that this car isn't even worth $2k.
Fucking shame. I paid a good bit for it and put money in it.

It is worth it, just not something any of us want or need apparently. That price on gumtree on the front page will sell quick.
Ex850R
Yep , Gumtree , or call Mark Iceton 0434 897 144 @Volvrek .
They may need one like yours , i know they like them and seem to move them quickly.
Rob
It is worth it. Gumtree it up.

Pm sent. Going to get it washed and listed on gumtree. Might have more luck there anyway.

call returned. I had a rough night. Was up at 5am in pain and finally passed out and slept until 11am.

Just spoke with Mark. Worked out a great deal. $300 for a 2nd hand turbo w/ 3months warranty and $300 in labor and I can drive it home next day. Also, get to visit Melbourne and the local peeps.
Going to also pick up a new brake switch from him in advance so I can use the cruise on the way down....8hr trip w/o FML.

I did pm you and text you.

From experience with GLE and I having already done the turbo once would HIGHLY reccomend that you have the oil supply line flushed out as well assuming your wanting to keep the car
If not keeping it then just trade it in ASAP
supermattyp
Yeah, the car runs and drives fine and Mark says he does this stuff all the time and wouldn't have any hesitations about easing it down. I'm really excited to be going to Melbourne anyway. This has been on my "to-do" list ever since I got here.
I just need to get it done. I don't have time/patience to drag on with it any longer. I believe Mark when he says I'll drive it up, he'll do the work and I'll drive it off. Innocent until proven guilty.

We see this a lot, cars with failed turbochargers and still drive them, just no boost, you will not get any where quick, drive with care it should be ok,.
there is another option, try Ikes in ACT see how much they will charge speak with Tim, I can supply the parts, save the drive for when your well. call me tomorrow I will give you contact details or speak with William in Yass .
