850R wanted

Hi, I presently own a S60R and am looking for a 850R Sedan or Wagon, preferably manual transmission. I live in Canada but am willing to travel to the US to purchase. I was interested in this car (http://www.chicagocarsus.com/mobile/mde ... ID=7571460) but the dealership is not interested in selling to Canadians, as there is a bit of extra paperwork. I had a 1996 850 GLT and loved it.

There was an 850R sedan for sale in Vancouver area on Craigslist last week, Been on there for a while. Guy wants too much for it but what I think and you think is too much may be different. Only issue is it is an Auto.

It is in Coquitlam.

Here is another one, but looks like a US import due to the temp range on the AC. They don't claim it is an 'R' but it has the badge and Volans, so may be something to check out, again it is an auto, but mileage is high:

I actually saw that one pass by in Vancouver a couple weeks ago. It looks.... terrible. The paint is completely faded, and the owner clearly doesn't seem to have much car knowledge based on their ad... I wouldn't touch this one unless you want a big project

OP actually bought a low-mileage cream yellow T5-R sedan a few weeks ago, he has posted about it over on swedespeed
