1996 Volvo 850 GLT Wagon 4D
$1,000
Listed
about an hour ago
in Raleigh, NC
About this vehicle
Driven 145,000 miles
Automatic transmission
Exterior color: White · Interior color: Tan
Fuel type: Gasoline
18.0 MPG city · 26.0 MPG highway · 21.0 MPG combined
Clean title
This vehicle has no significant damage or problems.
Seller's description
This car will need towed, THIS is a PROJECT Car, I can’t take care of this car in the way it needs to be a stellar old Volvo, but this is the perfect purchase for someone who wants to buy an old Volvo wagon.
Starting with the good:
Interior beyond drivers seat is impeccable
Original Radio
$3500+ worth of parts put onto it and in it
Two brand new tires less than ~1000 miles on it
All parts to fix it are included
The Bad:
Odometer broke in the prior ownership so mileage is unknown, estimating id say near ~200k
BLOWN Head Gasket, last year the cars head gasket I found had been blown after doing a compression test, I had just replaced the radiator and wanted to thoroughly check everything but ended up finding a blown head gasket between cylinder 3/4. The car is very feasible to fix for someone who was the time for it, I have the parts to get it running again but I’m 21 and at an age where I do not have the money to throw at this car sadly, I’d love to keep it but I can’t store it.

Very nice white 1998 V70 manual with top trim level in Indiana. I've never seen wood grain on the door cards before. Looks like someone really loved this car.
Pics to prove that door card woodgrain exists:

That's a nice car, but the price is a little crazy. Interesting trim kit though, I've never seen that. I'm pretty certain it's not genuine Volvo, though.FireFox31 wrote: ↑20 May 2025, 10:19 Very nice white 1998 V70 manual with top trim level in Indiana.
