Buying another car. 850 out and C70 in

Post by jantt »

Time to change.

The old 850 GLT 1992 will proberly this weekend be changed to a C70 2,5T 1999.

Tied of gearbox problem with the 850. Someone else have to deal with it. Asking price around 15.000 DDK.

Sadly the C70 isn`t a T5, but it looks nice. Black with black interior. Serviced all years at Volvo dealer.
There should be no fauls, no rust, no mecanic problems. Price 40.000 DDK (cheap).

Will see sunday if it as good as it looks.

First thing to do : Chip and exhurst that will get it to 236 bhp :)

Lovely looking car! Always liked the look of the coupe, but tall fat guys don't fit in unfortunately. Hope you have good luck with this car!

wish they'd built an 850 coupe. I just really like the boxy interior of the 850ies. Outside the C70 is really nice, esoecially in black. Nice buy

Thanks. Got it cheap for DDK 38.000 where normal price here in Denmark are over DDK 60.000.

3 minor rust spots. Just on surface.

Steering hard. It was the joint between steeringgear and columm that needed a little rustspray and that was fixed.

Paint needs a good polish and cabin needs also a good cleaning.

Seems that is all thats needed.

Have orded BSR tuning and 2,5" rally exhurst and open airfilter and black headlights and black grill. That have to do for start :)

PS you can get a 850 coupe, but it`s BMW :)

Oh there seems to be a run for my old 850. Took to days two sell. Will be picked up on friday.
So bye white 850. Was a good car.

What kind of BSR tuning are you going for? I've been looking at those. :) Nice C70 - don't see a lot of them up here, unfortunately.
