My 96 had those wheels - when I dented one it cost me $100 for one. Do the math.
1996 850 Turbo Gold Edition, 7 years' reliable service and >220k mi, sadly now gone
2009 S60 2.5T, sent away after taking me down Via Dolorosa. Happy to be rid of it.

That's a pretty rare interior option. I don't think I've even seen that more than once before on an 850. Common on 740 Turbos.

What's going on with this red leather? Is this a thing? I tried looking it up as an option but couldn't find it.

At any rate it looks like a good deal for any of us. I'm tempted but do not need another small sedan. Unless maybe...I do? With red leather?

Can't say I've ever seen it, but it does look original. Or at least very well done. It's hard to find that level of quality, if it was done by somebody other than Volvo.
