I’m selling my 182k miles 850R wagon. Daily driver condition, starts, runs, drives, turns, stops. Needs timing belt and AC evap, and from there it depends on your level of perfection on how far you want to go. Front left control arm likely needs new bushings.
Paint is good from 50ft but has some spots that are fried by the sun. Lots more information in my 850R for sale forum post, more details. There are many more photos in that thread as well. Contact me here.
It passes Colorado emissions, just did the test a month ago here in Centennial. Clean title. It was bought new by its first owner in nearby in Monarch Volvo in Littleton Colorado in 1996 or 1997, so it’s a local car.
