Volvo Findings! (What have you found on FB/Craiglist/Kijiii/other)?

Ya, ya, but can you imagine how sweet that interior would be in this gem?

What You guys think? Seller said he’d take $300 for it. Auto, turbo, ‘93, “runs real nice”,
122K miles (or may be 221k, or 321k).

For $300 I would have it same day. But I live too far...

For $300, I'd take it! Turbo, though? Did the owner turbo it himself?

About 350 imported, only 50 of the wagons.

It’s Cream Yellow for that special 1995, not Gul Yellow

He is about 2x on a reasonable price

It's got miles, and the interior and engine bay need cleaning for better pics. Lose the jewel headlights. Or did he? I saw both.

The engine bay shows it to be unmolested. That's good. Headlight wipers still. That's good.

Two things that are radioactive to me... ok three:

1. No photo of the VIN plate with color code. It should be 607. You know, the thing that makes this 4x more valuable than other 850s.
2. He's wildly inaccurate with his # imported... even the name of the paint (!).
3. It's been relisted over and over. By far the most alarming thing here.

That I don’t know, I asked the seller 3 times & finally when I asked “is it an auto/turbo?” verbatim, they answered “yes, runs real nice”. Also I didn’t know this til just now but looks like the odo might be accurate at 121k, assuming it still spins.

Were only the MT 240’s turbo’d?

No, 240 turbos ended around '84 or '85 I believe. They were all B230F after that.

That said, I don't think there's any interior I would want bad enough to spend $1350.

Price is ok , units are wrong

1350 cents
