1997 855R Red/Tan 152k miles

Post by koffinb »

Rare Volvo 850R Wagon! This is honestly one of the cleanest and unmolested Volvo 850s you will ever come across.
Completely bone stock with the exception of an aftermarket stereo and 2 10" subs(will be removed prior to sale, based on prospective buyer and final price) I have the original headunit if desired as well. The current one is an aftermarket Kenwood unit with Bluetooth and iPod capability.
I have service records dating back for years with religious maintenance at the dealership. There are literally only two imperfections on this car and those are the peeling clear coat on the rear spoiler and the scuff marks on the front lower spoiler with a cracked foglight lens.
I have cared for this car and babied it more than anyone could imagine. As did the previous owner. He ordered the car through the overseas program while he was stationed on Germany. He later had the car transported here to the states in June of 2003 at 50k miles. I get looks and compliments almost every time I stop to fill her up at the gas station

True Volvo Enthusiasts know how rare and great of a car this is. All the common issues for this model have been addressed and maintained properly. It hurts to let it go, but I have just purchased an S60R and really have no use in keeping both cars.

P.S. The drivers side window tint was peeling of so I decided to remove it temporarily. I will be putting it back on before selling it to match the rest of the windows at 20%. I have also noticed that in the pictures the drivers door looks like it is misaligned. This is due to the door being ajar while taking the photos. All doors and panels line up just fine.
Asking $7,500 obo

Hello. I'm very interested in your 850R. My dad drove an 850 for 15 years. Please let me know if the car is still available. Would you still be willing to include the audio equipment for your current asking price? Thanks!
