Erm...guys, that 850R in Raleigh wouldn't happen to be black, would it? Is it at a dealership and what's the price?
The things - I went to see a black 850R in Raleigh a while ago at a dealer and it was an absolute dog!!! Needed bodywork, it was leaking PS fluid, front suspension was bust, all the lights on the dashboard were ON, and when I drove it, the OIL light flashed every time I hit 4000rpm.
Send me a link, or a picture if you have one and I'll see if it's the same car. If it is - run for your life!

I'm going to give them a call and try and get out and drive the S70 Monday, as I'll be home in Durham for the weekend. If you guys wanna send me the info for that red R, I might be able to swing by and have a look at it too & let you guys know what I find out. Well, unless my dad beats everyone to it - he was definitely interested in it to save on gas his Jeep eats up, but doesn't want the huge maintenance project mine has beenIM really considering this. Theres an 850 r in Raleigh for sale too im looking into.

Yup. I wish that car was closer so I could take a look at it, but still the Rs are more than I really want to pay for a daily driver.xpiecemealx wrote:Yeah im talking about the red one too. 144k to be exact, tan interior. 1 owner car.

I sure hope you all realize that this car at a $3900 DEALER asking price is ridiculously low?
I'm sure it needs a ton of work
Like an AC evaporator
Full suspension rebuild
A new timing belt and tensioners
A breather box and on and on........
and who knows what else!
