$1500 obo.

I bought this in hopes of it becoming my son's first car. After finally getting in touch with the original owner (I bought the car from a flipper), I found out that the oil line to the turbo blew. The PO was driving it home from the Volvo dealer when it happened. He didn't see any indication there was a drop in oil pressure. By then, it was too late for the motor. 

Other than than that, the car was very loved. Nearly new Michelin tires, brakes are in fantastic shape. Paint is pretty good, as is the leather. Clear carfax, which supports a single owner from 0 miles to ~166K miles. That's the guy I've been in touch with.

I paid $1500 for it, not including the expense to drive 8 hours round trip to go get it. Hope to get that back out of it. More pictures to come.

Were you intending to leave a link to the ad?

It needs an engine?

The picture of the FB Marketplace ad is from when I bought it. I haven't created an ad to sell it, other than this thread.

Yes - in spite of the local shop telling me it has bent valves, based on what the PO told me regarding the loss of oil pressure, I'm assuming it needs a motor. Those appear to go for $1500-$2000, based on research I've done on car-part.com and ebay.

Still need to sell this. It's sitting at the shop where I had them diagnose the no start issue. Anyone want to make an offer?

I really love this car, especially in red! I've been trying to find out other engines that would bolt up to the M66 transmission but haven't had much luck, does anyone know?

Somehow I missed this question. I still have the car and it's in Gainesville
