It gets better! Here's the latest revision to his ad:

**** REVISED ****** I have gotten a lot of mails on this ad,
obviously I know what I'm doing and I've priced the car right.
However I do not participate in so-called "digital photographs!"
So DONT EMAIL me Asking for such! *******


Interesting world that his guy lives in...
I don't know about any Volvo wine glasses, but I do recall
a small table that protruded from the back and allowed two
people to sit under the hatch with it between them.

My son's Honda CR-V has a folding table in trunk floor where the 850 spare tire is. Certainly stronger than the cardboard that covers our spare tires. I have seen Volvo owners like this one before. Pontificating, windbag types.

...the Volvo cassette player was NOT used! I can even give a certified letter or a sworn affidavit for an additional nominal fee when my attorney returns from vacation.
I bet that attorney says they're out on vacation a lot.

Sooo....was there really an option for the Volvo folding table then? I’ve never seen one and can’t find any photos of one either.

Wow so there really was a table! Volvo part # 9499474! If you google the part number it does come up, but it appears that this table is for a P2 chassis car, I wonder if they made a similar one for P80 cars? Cool!

That same set fits the xc90 as well. Apparently very rare though. Maybe they adjusted the support arm underneath to fit on the 850. That particular table was getting $400 plus bids over in England. You could try to see this car after all if it really has such a unique feature. Probably get half your money back selling the picnic package out of it.

You could always claim you play bag pipes - a favorite windbag :)
