Hello all, I unfortunately got into an accident a few days ago in my lovely 850R.
It's repairable, but I don't have the time or the space.
Asking $1,000.
Located in Marin County, California.

Pretty sad, but certainly fixable, especially being an R. The bumper cover and spoiler survived, which is a huge selling point. Post over on swedespeed too, if you haven't already. Good luck, hope it finds a good home.

I could get that done in a day if I had all the parts on hand. 'Easy peasy.' and 'They dont make 'em like they use to.' Its one of those situations in which you mind find yourself with a 2020 volvo model, then look back on this crash and realize how much easier and cheaper the older cars are to fix. At least thats my opinion.

In some ways it looks an easy repair as LH fender looks ok. Looks like whatever was hit went over the bumper which means there is a very high chance the frame rails will be ok. So RH fender, hood and slam panel, possibly some of the radiator/AC/intercooler sandwich may need done. So all bolt on panels. Paint on top if correct color panels are not available would be the biggest cost. If I was closer I would tackle it myself (except the paint).
