94 850 NA
129k, odo appears working
cloth interior
AM/FM cassette!

A couple classic gems from the text
"... a few small dings and a few minor scratches, but many of which I believe could be buffed out to restores a great shine to the exterior ..."

" ... the check engine light is on (EGR valve no longer available through Volvo) but you'd never know it. In fact, the previous owner has had this CEL on for about 10 years and actually had tape over it ..."


wait for it ...
