And it even has the cargo shade!!

Nice spot with the shade! I want a cargo shade in my V70 in the worst way but I can't find one anywhere

Nice, but i would be sleeping in my wagons if I will buy one more car. The only exception would be MGB convertible with manual transmission

Sadly I now purchase cars just for items like that. Then fix or part the car out. LOL I send you a DM because I have a couple of those shades for sale.

Someone cared about this. They added an IPD strut tower brace and seem to have replaced the front springs (due to shiny new hardware). Amazing to see original exhaust and engine bay components; no messing around with aftermarket stuff.

Does the trip counter at 000.0 indicate that the odometer gears are broken, thus the mileage is wrong? And is the true odometer reading stored in a computer which can be read? And you can manually advance the odometer to match the internal computer reading? My 2000 V70 stores the mileage in a computer even when the ABS module was disconnected so the odometer didn't increment.

Where is this located? Please don't say NH. Yup, it's NH. It's easier to pass up since it's black which doesn't interest me. Or, "I already have one in black."

Do you guys really buy cars on colour? I think you can get help with that fixation.

Colour is impourtant. For me, it must be not bouring: white, black, grey, silver, tan, etc. Interior color must be non-black because black is too hot in the sun. If I bought this 850 R, I would restore it for eventual resale, but would be ok driving it for a while thanks to that tan interior.

I keep threatening to repaint my ~400k mile beater Geronimo from black to orange. That might increase its resale value from $0 to the proper $500.

Seems like someone replaced the R front bumper and wheels with base model junk. I’m willing to bet it was crashed and repaired by someone that doesn’t know what an R is.

Odometer gears are most certainly broken with the trip meter being at 0, so the actual mileage is anyone’s guess until someone hits it with the 850 OBDII app and pulls the mileage out of the computer.

That is one of the nicer tan R interiors I’ve seen in recent years though.

I’m guessing this will go for 8k
