Looks like I will be posting here yet again. I picked up a 1997 850GLT from a local member on here, 850 LPT. It is the blue/green metallic with tan interior. Here is a quick picture:

Hey, that Starbucks looks awfully familiar..... :D

Seriously, I'm really glad the car went to a Volvo fan. It will no doubt be taken care of and enjoyed. That does matter to me a lot.

You left the interior in such great shape that I refused to bring coffee into the car for fear of spilling it!
