I like the red one, looks very clean. That teal one would be a beast with that Caddy 4.9, but I bet it would be nothing but trouble.

That Volvo would be cool!  Can't believe he listed the lumpy cam as a Con...hell no! That's a Pro, all day long.

2011 REAR WHEEL DRIVE Black on tan LS with only 66,000 kms. Not sure if a good price or history but I'm thinking RWD models are rare especially with very low kms.

pre-Predator grille, looks good
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Seems it sold quick - what were they asking for it?  I sometimes wonder if my wife would like that, she'd hate the idea, but c'mon, the ride must be fantastic and it'd be comfy, right?  She HATES my Fusion's seats...therefore she hates the Fusion.  Farm girl doesn't much like cars at all, she likes her truck.  Hasn't been a farm girl for 30 yrs, but hay (intentional sic), guess you can take the girl off the farm, you can't take the farm off the girl.  :P  She'd like a Mustang though, it's one car she'd like.

Very neat!  Pre 1974-bumper Japanese cars are awesome.

Weird on the Volvo. Who puts stickers on the underside of a hood? Anyhow noticed it has V70/S60 R wheels which again is strange considering they have the off set for a FWD car. A set of classic Turbos would be so much better.

Leaking oil is not good considering he just recently swapped in the engine. This means it may have not been done with attention to detail or corners were cut. Still for $3k it may be worthwhile and it is located in Calgary...

\Seems like a pretty good deal. Would be a fun sleeper for sure.

It's been for sale off and on for years now. It's first iteration had a Chevy bowtie in the grill.
An interesting swap but it needs a lot of finishing.

It’s a pretty common and well-known swap.  He’s a specialist that supplies parts and instruction.

Nine to ten year old battery? Maybe it is toast.

That generation had very poor range. Back in 2012, I was talking to an owner of a Tesla Model S, and he said that he bought it as his spouses Leaf had such poor range. They drove from North Vancouver to Chilliwack a distance of just over 100 KM and it needed recharging. At that time there very few charging stations in that area, and they had to plug into their friends regular current to charge. A full charge would have taken 17 hours. He said the car was great for her commute to work as it was a very manageable distance. They had a level 2 charger installed at home, so she could recharge every night.

Seeing that there is snow in the photo, I can imagine the all ready poor range is diminished even more with the cold weather and having a heater on.

Yer, I also notice the level of the battery was low too, I think that is always going to be the issue with used electric cars, Battery. You could take to Nissan, and see if it is toast.

Yep...have seen the battery integrity tests the dealerships can do.

I think it's interesting find. I wish I was in the market for a 2nd car. I'd would have certainly given it look. as long as you could get 80-120 clicks, out the battery. Better than e-bike really.
