I cant believe I am saying this butI am seriously beginning about parting out my 1997 850r. I am close to $1600 deep into repairs and still cant seem to figure out the problem and neither can a volvo specialty shop. How much would I be able to get out of the car parting it out. Body and interior is in great shape. Volan wheels with a full size spare. What are my biggest ticket items?

Interior, Volans, R bumper, R spoiler, R amp, R ECU.

Where are you located? I need one Volan, so if you want to sell the spare out of your trunk and youre local, I'll take it.

The engine/transmission package could have brought you some decent money if they were running well. The rest of the parts are OK, but you'll have a lot of labor and time in getting it all apart and packaged for shipping. Then it depends on how far you are from customers. If they can drive to your place to pick stuff up it will be more valuable that if you lived 200 miles from the nearest UPS store.

The was one (a '97 wagon, R) sold as parts here during the past year. Look it up and contact the guy. Maybe he can give you encouraging news. Good luck!

What are the colors? I am specifically interested in the lightest woodgrain interior. Looks like oak.

I sent you a PM.. If you do part it, I'm interested in your Volans.
