Long time lurker, first (technically second) time poster!
Time to get rid of the 850.
The Good:
Heavy duty spring perches in the front
IPD lowering springs front and rear
3 year old struts
V70R front brakes (bigger rotos, caliper adapters, upgraded pads)
Full brake fluid flush
New Nissen radiator and coolant (less than 100 miles)
Glass "e-code" headlights
V70 wagon tail lights
CDT Audio 5.25 component front speakers
4 channel amp & crossovers hidden above spare tire
equalizer in glove box with bluetooth adapter for phones
wired for a subwoofer (sub not included)
Spares:
-set of original springs & struts
-tinted windows (30% I believe)
-glove box door in good shape
-cargo area spare tire cover
-6 disc cd changer
-new pads and shoes
-leather door inserts
The bad:
The odometer stopped working 2 years ago at 162k. I only drive ~6 miles to work, so there shouldn't be more than another 12-15k ontop of that. There is a small oil leak at the turbo. The exterior and interior are not mint. There are some dings along the passenger side doors, the hood paint is fading, and the driver's seat is torn. The transmission doesn't like cold mornings - it needs a few minutes to warm up - allegedly this is the shift sensor/actuator thing. I also heard a skreetch come from the backside of the engine bay a couple times. Hasn't been consistent enough to be able to hunt it down. Also the A/C compressor is noisy and I have to charge it every spring.
The pictures show aftermarket stereo equipment, which isn't necessarily for sale at this time. All parts will be cleaned before purchase, and I'm OK to ship. If you want to see anything, the car is located in Charlotte, NC.
I'm bummed that the value of these cars has plummeted so much. I need to get 800 out of the car, whether it's parting it out or selling it whole. Please email me at [email protected] for fastest response.
Thanks!!

I'll try and embed pictures as soon as I can figure imgur out...
