This is a 1996 Volvo 850R. This particular car has a little over 141,000 miles and it will continue to go up as I drive it daily. Take note the R wheels were removed by a previous owner and the turbo wheels pictured were put on. The car also does not have the R rear spoiler installed though there was a spoiler included with it. This car is a real R though if you have any doubt run the VIN or come look at it in person.
It's stupid to even list so soon because I just bought it but...I bought this car and started to "restore" it back to a clean and reliable daily driver for work. I had some of the important work done first such as the timing belt and the PCV system. All that was done by a very reputable Volvo shop and I have the paperwork. It runs great, it's quick, it rides smooth, and it's very comfortable. I wanted an automatic for work (particular traffic) but now want a manual again or I can just drive my truck which is a manual. lol These are commonly swapped for manuals but I don't need a project. Heat and A/C work (see below for note),power seats work, lights work, power mirrors work, etc.

-Timing belt (9/2015)
-PCV system (9/2015)

The car is not perfect by any means but the majority is all cosmetic and the photos speak for themselves. The hood, front bumper, and fenders use to be red, not sure if the car was once red (doesn't show signs of it) or if the front end was swapped out but there's that. The interior is in much better shape than when I bought it but isn't mint. The A/C works but needs a small clutch fix which I may do anyway. The speakers don't sound great, it's all factory from 1996 minus the two front door speakers. The sunroof currently only tilts but does not go back. RR window regulator needs replacing. I have seen smoke (oil) once when I let it sit for a while running then accelerated, could be valve stem seals, maybe a turbo seal? It's not even remotely concerning though. SRS light is on. Service light pops on when the car is first started and goes off.That's pretty much all I can think of, just trying to get everything out there.
Clean GA title in my name. Asking $2,800.00. Somewhat flexible but not much, I'd rather not lose money.
