Beautiful 1996 Volvo 850 R in So. Cal.

Post by DrewsT5 »

I came accross this beauty while browsing this evening. Just a tad :roll: overpriced though:

It appears to be perfect, so if your pockets are deep and you've been seaching high and low for the well preserved R wagon of your dreams, here it is.

KBB value for that car in PERFECT condition with those exact features and specs and that same mileage is under $6K

That's the stupidest price I've ever seen for a car

I laughed when I saw the price too. Even if it had half the miles I don't think someone would still buy it at that price. They must be taking the Crazy Pills over at that dealership. I must say though, the original owner kept it in great shape. It's hard to find one that well preserved.

When I worked at Acura in the mid 90's for 6 months before an injury took me out of a career in auto repair the Dealer would get a trade in for $3,000 and it was back for sale at $9,000. Somebody will purchase it for $7,000 thinking they got a great deal! Hope no SWEET first time buyer spend anything close to that for the Volvo.

Agreed, that is a ton of money. It's got a small ding, too. Driver's side, far back near tail light. Not a deal-breaker... my point is: You're a dealer -- fix that.

Dealers have the luxury of "sitting on" a percentage of their inventory, waiting for "the" buyer to fall out of the sky. The bigger the dealer, the longer the sitting they can do. It's not "good" or "bad", it's just the way it is.

Worth 8-$8500 to the right person if the mechanicals are 110%
Miles are low and it really IS a nice one.
