Ah gotcha, yeah those are fairly uncommon. Maybe a little more common than the P80 3rd row, but still not the easiest option to find.

Now if we're talking about the heated 3rd row seats, that's the true unicorn :mrgreen: .

Screen Shot 2021-06-26 at 6.49.14 PM.png
1994 Volvo 850 wagon with a five cylinder turbo engine and automatic transmission it has a high pressure turbo put out 222 hp
Brown leather excellent condition dark blue exterior everything on it works except for the odometer but you can pull the engine mileage from the OBD one under the hood which reads 151,000
I have all records and receipts timing belt was done when odometer was functional at 133,000 miles it has one knock on the front suspension probably needs control arms or struts
Built in third row rear facing seat and built and child seat in armrest of backseat
Regular oil change is good tires there is somewhere on the carpet on the driver side front have all weather mats they can be put down and a Wool seat cover for the driver seat
Clean title
That one looks really nice, looks like a good deal for $2,500. Great candidate for a manual swap! Although it would need an early M56 with the speed sensor.

At the minimum it's dillusional.
The last two Bricks I changed blower motors on took every bit of seven (7) hours.
This one needs not only the listed issues, but a pair of fresh headlights wouldn't hurt.

This looks more like Market Rate.
Keep in mind 1) I don't need another car, 2) Nowhere near my zip code, and 3) I know nothing about the 80 series, this is strictly entertainment.

Nice find, getting to be on the Vanishingly Rare list.
To my eye, it looks a bit odd with those wheels.

That 240 is WAY overpriced. Maybe a $2k car at best. It's decently clean, but it needs too much.

I was trying to be polite calling it 'delusional'.

Delusional is certainly the polite way to classify it!

There’s definitely a red block cult so I won’t be surprised if it moves, but not at that price.

How many people actually do the actual calculation when they sell a car for “ better gas mileage”?

Average driver 12000 miles per year
At 20 mpg and $3 gallon, that’s $1800 gas bill per year
30 mpg $1200
40 mpg $900


Repairs and maintenance will be $1800 on any car plus you have to fix whatever was the real reason they sold you the EconoBox
