Hey! A feller Ontarian. P5 thing is new to me too. I never knew 2wd could be so much fun (yes).

Thanks for the responses guys.

It is an automatic with 170k on it, but its in good condition apart from some rust on one of the rear quarter panels and the bottom of the front passenger door. I'll likely tint the windows and change out the stock Dunlops for a start, CAI too, at some point. Too many other things competing for my pay cheque to go turbo at this point.

I love to drive this thing!

I think I got a pretty good deal on it; $5200, with S&E, 2yr drive train warranty. The dealer also replaced the front and rear links for me.

What do you have for snow tires?

 

[RYnCC]

Been running 33" Goodyear MTR's for the past 5 or so years. . but I don't think they'll fit on the P5

To be honest I totally forgot about grabbing winter tires, guess i should do that sooner than later. Hell, the summer we've had. . I wouldn't be surprised to see snow mid September.

(band)Very impressive. It's got 170k miles and it's that clean. You scored man, you should be very pleased.

I'm pretty sure the car has been resprayed at one time and point. It doesnt look like it has a single rock chip in it! Resprayed or not it looks good.
