2006 Volvo V50 T5 AWD Manual wagon for $3300. High mileage and looks like it needs a little bit of work but total unicorn car.
C'mon ... does this really belong here in the 'good buy' if the car has a leaky sunroof and it can't start ?? Is it too much to ask that the engine starts when you turn the key if you want to post here ??!!

The sunroof did have a water leak issue, so it is currently taped shut. The sunroof drain tubes that run down the A-pillars are probably defective. I did this hack job repair out of desperation, as I was out of town and didn't have any tools. So far, it's held up, and there's no more water intrusion, but it's summer time now, so you'd probably want to fix it properly.

The vehicle runs very strong, but it is currently not starting due to the CEM needing to be cleaned and refitted (very common issue on these), hence the low asking price. I'd continue to dabble with this car, but I simply do not have the time as I have newly acquired a full time job. It's already been parked for a week.

Tow it to your place, and spend a few hours fixing all the common issues. This is a sweet ride for the summer.
