1997 850R wagon for sale [Denver] $2300

[matthew1]

I got this from longtime MVS member gmh. I've had it for a little over 2 months and it passes emissions. I put around 200 miles on it. 182k miles.

$2600 2300 or shoot me an offer

Needs:
AC compressor
Timing belt
Wheel sensor or ABS module (or not... I need to get under it and check wheel sensors)

It passed emissions last month. It's a Denver Metro Area local car bought new at a Denver dealer.

The paint is ok in most places and shot in others. See pics. The steering likes to "grab" at the extremes, meaning it doesn't feel like it wants to center itself in low speed parking lot maneuvers. There is a clunk in front left on angled curbs, I'm thinking control arm bushing.

There are many small defects inside and outside. It was a daily driver, so expect daily imperfections.

Good winter tires with tread
Non-original wheels (P2 16" wheels)
Slight brake shimmy in steering while braking
Odo works
18mpg city, normal and expected
Remote and two keys
Remote actually works, and on all 4 doors
Engine sounds good and pulls strong
Radio and all its functions work, tape, CD, radio, everything
I think a speaker is blown... left rear, I've only heard it on a certain song
No codes, ABS/tracs light sometimes, might be solved
It'll need wipers, but washer works fine
Half the time the turn signal stalk will not self-cancel after a turn
Headliner is ok, intact, not sagging
Battery is strong
Starts right up every time
Strut brace
No idiot lights illuminated (except Service, which is truly an idiot light if there ever was one)
Parking brake 100% functional

I'll probably update this ad in the next few days with additional photos and text. If I don't get bites here, I'll post it to the FB Marketplace wasteland, home of the no-show, lowballing zombie.

That’s a beautiful dash, second only to the 1999 T5 dash in warm oak.

GLWS …a true gem

Matthew! I REALLY want to buy that. My Toyota might sell on Friday but likely Monday. I have a perfectly good ac compressor sitting on the back porch. I can easily get an Aisin timing kit. I only did my first timing job on my 95 850 and it was mostly a breeze! I actually ENJOYED that. LOL! I have an ABS module. And a pair of good Infinity speakers for that blown one you mentioned. And of course an 855R would not be complete w/o an M56..... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The one thing Id like to know. Do you know anyone that you can secure a deal with to get that car to me? Obviously I will pay for the transport.

The one catch with all of this COULD be my lender. It is FirstBank of Antlers, Loan officer Drew Savage in Antlers,Oklahoma. If I must get a loan of some size, the title is the catch. Drew would have you get your bank to fax a copy to FB. Then Drew (FirstBank) will wire you the money. When I sell parts on here, I use Paypal. If I had the full amount in cash, I can send via Family/Friends on there. I need to know what your comfort level is with payments. Its ever so possible that my neighbor could bring me. But likely not.

I have a polishing orbiter that will shine it up nice!

Sure. My bank doesn't have the title because I own it outright. But I can certainly photograph the title and email it to you or your guy at FB.

I don't know any shippers, but do read Colorado car FB group messages from time to time about them and can ask. Or local Volvo enthusiast and mechanic Brett Borders might know one.

Because you've been a member here at MVS for seven years, I'll throw in the pinstripes for free.

What’s the nearest airport you can get a lift to , Antler-man? My mom can get you a cheap plane ticket up to Denver and you can drive it back yourself as an alternate plan B

Tulsa. Im not confident in getting my feet off the ground though. I might pay a neighbor $300 to drive me. I will definitely pay more if I get it delivered.

Questions: Any rust? Other than timing kit, what other components are needed to bring to 'Stage 0'? LOL fb zombie incoming. Can you do like 2200 or $2300?

Its so good but Im hemming and hawing between this Volvo and that Toyota. 1 owner. Tbh I need to test drive a highlander before being this enthusiastic.

Mom can fly you ftom Tulsa to Denver in 2 hours. Remember the car trip is 10,000x more dangerous than flying, and never eat the fish on the plane

How much is the ticket? Leaving the ground is a big step.
