I've decided to sell my 850 T5R. It has been my daily driver for nearly 12 years and has about 150K miles. Prior to my ownership, it was in Tennessee where it lived for the first 6 years and 48K miles. It is in very good condition though does need some maintenance.
2 bigger items:
turbo pressure valve & heater core (Part included)
A few small items:
antenna, replacing parking brake pads (parts included), speedo gear (part included) and paint that is peeling on the rear spoiler.
The interior is very nice with excellent leather. I also have an extra set of titan rims with mounted snows.
I have always maintained it as if I would never sell it. Over the last couple of years though, my commute has gotten long and time shorter which is why there are items that need attention. With my lack of time, I decide to buy a newer car for my daily driver. I’ve got a full garage and driveway so the T5R needs a new Volvo fan.
I’d like to get $3,250 and am open to offers. More pictures & detailed maintenance records available on request.
Thanks,
David

Dakar Yellow is the 95 BMW M3 yellow, it's NOT a Volvo color name.
That being said, GLWTS

I have absolutely no idea!
No one ever says anything except "YELLOW T5R"
It's the only yellow Volvo's made for 20 years or so

It's called Cream Yellow. It's a favorite of mine, for sure!
What's up with the color shift on the passenger side of the car? The rear door and back look nice and brightly colored and the front door forward look really faded.

Simple
The bright part is new two stage paint, the rest is original (and faded) paint

I get that, really I do. I guess my question is really, "what's happened to the car so that only part of it has been repainted?"JRL wrote:Simple
