1994 850 turbo wagon, blown engine, Madison Heights MI

Post by urbex »

1994 Volvo 850 turbo wagon, metallic green exterior, clean black leather interior. Upgraded 302mm front brakes with cross drilled rotors, 16" Volvo wheels, Bilstein HD struts and shocks. Car came from Arizona approx 3 months ago, had been in Arizona it's entire life since new, so has no rust at all, but does have the expected peeling/faded clearcoat on the hood and roof (interior NOT sunfaded/cracked). Headliner is falling, driver's seat side has some wear. A/C is functional and blows cold, all power options are working. It's missing the cover panel on the rear hatch, and needs hatch struts.

Engine/chassis has 193,000 miles, automatic transmission was replaced approx 6 months ago with a trans out of a 105,000 mile 850 and I've put roughly 6,000 miles on it since. Suspension has roughly 20,000 miles on it, brakes were done at the same time the trans went it. Turbo has approx 40,000 miles on a rebuild, and easily hit 20psi when the wastegate line developed a leak a few weeks ago (I suspect overboost may be related to the engine failure :D)

Engine is bad, developed a knock on my way to work a week ago, followed by a solid thud, and severe vibration. Car will start and run, but I wouldn't drive it much past a trailer, lol. Asking $600/negotiable, I have clear title in my name for the car.
