Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon $2200 North Vernon, IN

I am regretfully selling my '850 turbo wagon. Family is coming first and I am after a newer truck and will have to sell the wagon. This car has been great to me for the past 7 years but is starting to show its age a little, so I will be 100% honest with this description. I can email or texts photos as needed.
The car is a '95 850 Turbo wagon, dark blue with beige leather interior and dash. The drivers seat shows some wear, but has only one little rip about 2 inches long on the side of the seat. The rest of the seats are in great shape as are the door panels, dash, and other plastic parts. The carpet is stained a bit from weather, but I have definitely seen worse. The rear bumper was hit, but it doesn't show badly, nothing to worry about and everything is still in tact. I have worked on and rebuilt Volvos on my own for 15 years and have done the following work myself, most of which has been done in the past 2-3 years.

NEW:
plugs, wires, cap, rotor
MSD ignition coil
IPD air filter kit/box
IPD turbo control valve/silicone vacuum lines
Silicone intercooler hose kit
Cam Sensor
O2 sensor
Crank Sensor
Coolant temp sensor
thermostat
Radiator (was leaking antifreeze around the oil cooler line inlet/outlets)
Mass air flow sensor
Air intake pipe + ptc valve
PCV flame trap box and hoses
upper engine mount
lower transmission torque mount
front engine mount under crank pulley
water pump
timing belt/tensioner
Professionally rebuilt turbocharger
Professionally rebuilt head/new gaskets for everything attached/intake/throttle body/injectors/etc.
rebuilt starter
heater core
A/C evaporator
Fuel pump
Fuel injection relay
Fuel pressure regulator
Drilled/slotted rotors
Front right brake caliper
brake pads at 60-70%
front flexible brake lines
upper strut mounts
control arm/ball joints both sides
outer tie rods
left and right CV joints/axles
front left wheel bearing
front sway bar bushings
oil cooler lines (were weeping oil)
Windshield (why don't gravel trucks cover their loads? . . . . db's)
Replaced original grille with a sporty black mesh grille with a PRANCING MOOSE badge that I mounted in the center, you can't beat that.
rear strut bushings
end link bushings
Front tires are 6 months old with 90% tread
Rear tires are 2 years old, 60% tread

USED:
Heater motor
gear shift lever handle
hatch door
replaced tail lights with later V70 taillights that look much better
Full sized spare to match the other 4 alloy turbo rims (fits in the same spare tire location!)
trailer wiring/hitch receiver/custom volvo sized hitch
rubber subaru cargo area mat that fits well enough
original volvo plastic winter floor mats
Euro side marker lights wired for parking lights and turn signal operation

EXTRAS THAT GO WITH THE CAR:
Same color blue front fenders
headlight assemblies
original tail light assemblies
non-turbo injector set
original hatch door
boxes of extra bolts/nuts/ relays/ trim pieces, from another wagon that I had parted out and kept for extras
ECU that has been flashed but needs programmed, correct part number to match the car
used rotors that I took off when I installed the drilled/slotted rotors
original air box and piping
power steering pump
starter
A/C compressor
alternator

Now that you have seen everything that has been done here (and it is a very well kept up car, I have OCD and can't let things slide), this is what the car needs. It has an electrical gremlin that shows up every once in a while that doesn't allow the car to start after being driven a short distance. However, the car ALWAYS starts when cold and most of the time otherwise. Has failed to start only 4 or 5 times since I've owned it. That being said, everything electrical works, all the options, lights, sunroof, electric seats, dual zone climate control. It does leak a little oil. I drive it daily to work about 20 miles total and I haven't had to put oil in it in close to 2 months, but there is a slight drip on the driveway under the car. The rear bumper has a small tear in it where it got bumped in the corner, but is all there and attached, looks fine for a driver.

Any questions, let me know. I am located an hour from Indianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnatti, right in between.

I believe I have figured out and fixed the electrical gremlin in this car! I replaced the ignition coil pickup igniter and the car has started and restarted perfectly every time since. The car is still for sale and a great deal in my opinion!
