We have an old, well used 850 we need to get out of our carport.

Considering that these days pristine 850s can be had for next to nothing, or that I'd often find them in better condition at Pick n Pull than the one I drove there in (this car)... I do not anticipate much interest in the car but I ...

My local junkyard has 3 850's on the lot. 2 of them are listed as T-5R, both listed as 95 M.Y., auto trans, one is black and other is listed as brown (olive green ?).
Is there a VIN range for T-5Rs?
I'm planning to visit the yard soon for bits off the third (NA ) 850 they have.

97 850 my Volvo had it's ignition damaged by an attempted theft over night. They damaged the ignition lock in the process. The outer switch (I, II, III) part is gone/broken off, my key will fit in the remainder off the ignition but does not turn or unlock the wheel.

What do I do? I need to first ...
