On no here we go again - 1996 Volvo 850 NA wagon

Post by scot850 »

Well looks like this may be happening again. Said I wouldn't do it again, but had my arm twisted to prevent a well looked after 1996 850 NA wagon with cloth seats that are in great condition. Car has about 190,000 miles on it. Owner wants the car to go to a new home and not crushed. Has a little damage to front RH fender and rear RH door thanks to a deer (Dear deer?). Has a few issues but runs and drives. It looks like it may end up south of the border again with my brother in CA, but moving to CO in the not too distant future.

Once I get over to see it an if it is a viable project then I will update with pictures and updates as they happen.

I couldn’t see it be crushed, it would break my heart…



Oooppps, I’ve done it again, bought a new p80
