That will need some serious attention, but at least the ad disclosed it, lol.
Not unusual for a twenty-year-old Northeast P2 but that damage will need to be cut out and whatever's remaining reinforced. Tricky thing about rust is that once you start digging into it there's typically more than meets the eye. There have been a few posts over the years of folks who have done this work.
That car for $4k is pretty laughable.

Will need to have a plate welded in there. Probably $400/side.

I think I'd be out. I'm sure it's easily rectified, but not for me.

Yeah, as much as I like T5Ms, I have too many other projects I need to finish (both 240s and the 740 Turbo, plus my BMWs). It actually makes me feel better about mine, since I have no rust anywhere and it’s mechanically tip-top.

I agree, plus if the strut towers have that, I'd guess every chassis project would be just a little bit more complicated as you find more rusty bits
Kind of one reason I passed my P80 V70 T5M along

That was my response to the seller. I can’t take on another project right now. He honestly shared that he had some people look at it and they suggested replacing shock towers with good ones from a donor.
I’m cool with maintenance items, but this would be more than I want to bite off.
The search for a T5M continues.

I found another one! Confirmed that Volvo made a couple T6 Executives! Has anyone ever seen a 3.2L executive?
According to the brochure, it was possible to order a base 3.2L with nothing but the executive package, but did anyone do that?

It is possible indeed. I dont think they made more than 100 3.2 Executives. I know they made around 500 09-10 V8 Executives. T6s are about the same. I see more than V8s.

The majority of them are Factory Delivery cars. All of them are either base or super weirdly specced. The one below has everything, fridge, rear screens, acc, nav and all but no BLIS.

This one is fully base with nothing besides the required options to allow for the Executive package but it's an OSD car with Magic Blue paint which was not available on US market Executive cars.

I have the largest resource of S80 V8 vins in the world. I've only focused on Executives though. So far the split is about 350 2010 V8s and 150 2009 V8s. Makes sense considering the MY09 cars came out right as the recession started.

OSD makes sense, and I believe the metallic red was only for OSD cars. Been searching for a 2010 Executive with everything or XC70 T6 with everything in California. It's very hard.
Was Caspian the only blue for Executive? I know the later facelift offered Magic.

Ruby Red 07-10 and Flamenco Red 12-13 were only available from OSD, yes. Finding a loaded S80 Executive in Cali is not hard. XC70s are though. Volvo's original S80 V8 Executive press car is in California still. Every option with Venator chrome wheels.
Executive's were only allowed Ember Black, Electric Silver, Pearl White and Savile Grey. I think 3.2s and maybe T6s were allowed nonmetallic colors but I could be wrong. They are very color limited. There's two Magic Blue V8 Executives. One was imported to Canada and the other was totaled in Seattle and exported to Lithuania.

I have seen and test driven a couple 2010 Executives this year, but they usually don't have ACC, and are ****ed up.
What is this color? Has to be OSD.

I've sought after them heavily. That's why I have all the info on them. I knew there weren't a lot so why no try to find the best one? Still haven't found one for me though..
Not OSD. That's Biarritz Blue (12-14).

I have been looking for a while, it's just hard because I don't want a clapped out one.
+ I saw a 2009 XC70 with every option at a junkyard, tried so hard to buy the thing, but the poster was basically non-responsive.
I'll keep searching!
