But you know he is a wanker because he wants an R sedan, rather than an R wagon….like the cool kids

He just isn't cool enough for a wagon!

Odometer gear broke at 95k. Wonder what the actual miles are? They can get them from the OBD1 box.
Has 96 R seats in a 95.

Those look to be '95 seats.

Have to say the car has several red flags to me around originality v's price being asked.

Agreed. The car has been through some stuff!

Since the only '95 850 I ever owned was just a Turbo, somebody clue me in here: weren't the T5Rs AWD ? Doesn't our friend Robert own one, and wrestled with the rear suspension a bit ? And does all that purdy red stuff under the hood make it go faster?

Only the V70R was AWD, the 850R and T-5R were both FWD.

There are very few operational differences between a 95 turbo and a 95 T-5R:
1. The R has a slightly different ECU tune.
2. The R has different front coil springs, plus different rear shock/spring setup on the wagons.

That's it! Otherwise they are the same car plus a bunch of cosmetic differences.

I've got one too, in black. Except I changed the ECU
