Selling this car for my dad, he moved out of state and I have no use for it other than occasional driving to work.
Its a great car with lots of power when you need it.
If you don't like the gold grille, I can swap in a brand new stock grille.

I replaced the PNP Switch.
I also replaced the rear upper "dogbone" mount with an IPD polyurethane insert and a QBM heavy duty firewall mount.
The car also has new calipers in the front, and rear pads and rotors.
Completely new exhaust system from the turbo back, including new downpipe, cat, Bosal Cat-Back and both O2 sensors.
I've replaced the oil every 3000-5000 miles with Mobil1 Full Synthetic 10w40 High Mileage in the summer, and now 10w30 in the winter.

1994 Volvo 850 Turbo
123k miles

Well, if you do come here, you should get rid of that grill ASAP and consider spraying the wheels silver.
The car itself doesn't look all that bad but the above mentioned just flat out kills it

Thanks Chief, I do agree the grille is bad, but the wheels look great in person.

Good luck with your car sale....you might want to advertise over on www.swedespeed.com as well. I too have a gold grille on my S70 but it's an XC type crate grille and black in the middle so not quite as extensive as yours.

Oh, and let me suggest that you clean up your engine bay a bit...see if you can get some degreaser on it (but cover your spark plug wells and any electrical wiring). Your seats are a bit worn but that's to be expected. What seems to sell these cars and what impresses people is a clean looking engine. Just a thought but would cost you very little and would most likely add to your chances of a sale. Once again, good luck!

thank you, i know the valve cover is not very pretty, nor is the fuel rail, i haven't had a lot of time to spend detailing the car, especially that its been extremely cold outside

I know what you mean...but paying for someone to do this...$30 or $40 could net you a much greater return in the long run....okay, enough said.

I did see your ad over on S.S. so please disregard my previous comment to post there.
