A 325i? What is that, 2001-2006? Nice brother! Congratulations!!
Yeah, I was surprised when I looked at the specs on the Volvo. Compares with the numbers on the mid 2000s BMW 328i and the V6 mid 2000s Mercedes 300
Definitely more than I need, considering I have already had someone in a brand new Camaro ask me "What have you got under there?"
Weird little 5-cylinder Turbo...
227 hp
236 ft/lb
3,350 lbs
It's a quick little car. I can't believe they go as cheap as they do sometimes. But then again, I guess repair costs xan offset that... Luckily I found a master Volvo mechanic who worked at the dealer for 30+ years before starting his own, Volvo only, repair shop.

I love youI've mentioned before that I'm a purchasing agent for a contract manufacturer. Well, 1 of my suppliers just dropped off $2000.
WTF?!?!!? Holy shit.
I think I just got a kick back.
What should I do with my new found wealth? Well, we are getting new windows next week so it'll go towards that.
Ha, just kidding. Hookers and blow, here I cum!

I had exactly this Volvo for a little while when I was in college. It died along the road at the end of a runway in Tampa.
Called my dad, who’s always been my rescuer. He brought a trailer and picked me and my car up.
We went that night and I bought another odd car, Saab 9000s British racing green with whale tail. (I loved that car)
Started diagnostics with dad on the Volvo. It was out of gas. The gas gauge broke. smh
Bought an mg midget when I was a senior in hs. 1968 smh I blew the head gasket. I’ve gone thru the alphabet of automobiles I think.
I’m trying to find the most comfortable car OR the coolest muscle car, for my arm money car lol

Want a fast sleeper? Pontiac g8 gt/gxp . Or a caprice ppv. Got a 6 liter in the ppv and they are CHEAP. Its a cop car but you can find ones without the kit. Make sure you get a bunch of used tires because its a burnout monster

Only bad part is that the engine is made by Holden. But any decent mechanic will have no problem with it.
