Get your Yellow. You know you've always wanted one.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

It is on Vancouver FB Marketplace. No price given. Only 2 pictures. Nive car. Only 2 things wrong, it is a stick (bad hip/back makes enjoying a stick shift in city very limited), and it is a sedan.
Hopefully it finds a good home.

Wow, that looks great. And a manual!
Amazing how much better a 240 looks with the turbo wheels.

I have mine, for quite a few years now, she is my baby.
That is a very nice car. And, I know I am almost alone on this, but I think the sedan is the far better looking, compared to the wagon.
Not quite sure how that wagon thing took over. I mean it is nice car, but it does look like a door wedge.

Volvo did an outstanding job on the 850 design, and the C-pillar on the sedan is no exception. It's very, very good. The 700 series 4-doors' C-pillar design looks a little awkward in comparison.
Another high point in 854 design is the trunk and taillights. Both are about as perfect as design gets, because 99% of design is what could have happened but didn't. Taillights are a little better on 96-97. IMHO.
