Poor old thing had to be saved! A little rough around the edges (mostly the front bumper which looks like it has been used for that purpose!) but what to expect for $750 CDN (under $600 US) which includes $100 tow!
Car needs some TLC and known issues are:
1) Front RH control arm ball joint is loose
2) Front RH wheel bearing noisy
3) Front RH outer CV boot has completely split
4) Front LH CV boot has failed (haven't looked too closely at it yet)
5) Possible PCV clean needed, but not checked yet
6) Top torque mount has failed
7) A/C needs work

9) Needs a good clean!!
On the positives for a 'base' model it has been spec'd up by the first owner as he apparently decided a high spec 850 was better than a base S90!
Car has:
1) Fog lights
2) 6-CD changer in trunk
3) Leather interior
4) ECC
5) Only 2 previous owners
6) West coast car until 3 years ago
7) Only 155,000km on it (about 97,000 miles).

Car hasn't got:
1) Moon/sunroof
This will be a challenging project to try and save on a budget.....(that worked well on the 'R' as regulars will know...hmm!).
I'll update on progress.
