I'm selling my Volvo wagon to make room for my new project. It's an 88 740 wagon. It's a very hard to find turbo manual tranny wagon. It has 260,000KM on it, runs great and just had a lot of work put in to it. The body's still in great shape, but the clearcoat is peeling in some spots. Lots of room for hauling parts, snowboards and people (seats 7). The best part is that it's RWD. This thing is a blast to drive and surprises a lot of people. It would make a fun winter car, daily driver, or something fun to take to Race City for some drifting. I was told that the rear end is Dana 30, so getting an LSD should be pretty easy to get from any 4x4 shop if that's what you're interested in. There's even factory LSD's that show up at PYP every once in a while. I'm looking to get $1,500 for it. Will consider trades for a clean Civic EF or EG hatch +/- cash depending on the car.

The car is fully loaded (except leather):
power windows
power sunroof
power mirrors
power locks
heated seats
cruise control
rear discs
ABS
driver's side airbag
rear jump seat (3rd row) that folds in to the floor

Mods:
3" mandrel bent exhaust
Volvo A cam (euro-spec turbo cam)
adjustable cam gear
manual boost controller
boost gauge
A/F gauge
MSD Blaster coil
MSD 8mm wires
lowered 2"
turbo sedan rear sway bar (wagons don't come with rear bars)
Open intake w/K&N cone filter

Recent maintenance, replaced the following parts in the last year:
wiring harness in the engine bay
distributor
HALL sensor (in the distributor)
spark plugs
AMM (air mass meter)
powerstage (ignition)
injector resistors
block heater

*EDIT* the tranny is a 4-speed manual with electronic overdrive, not a 5-speed manual as previously stated....I'm just used to calling manual trannys "5-speeds".

Mechanically it's working great, nothing that needs attention that I'm aware of. The clear is peeling in sections and the hatch is flat black (had to replace it due to a smashed window), but the body's straight.

*edit* I forgot about the temp sensor. It's not currently working, but I have another sensor that I haven't found time to put in yet.
