This Nautic Blue 1997 Volvo 850 T-5 wagon has been registered in Oregon since new. It had two owners before it was acquired in 2013 by the seller, who was Product Line Manager at IPD when the car was retrofitted with an M56H five-speed manual transaxle there, around seven years ago. The wagon also features an 18T turbo, a Do88 intercooler, Fifteen52 18″ Podium wheels, IPD springs and sway bars, Koni Special Active dampers, 320mm front brakes, and a Vibrant Performance turbo-back exhaust system. Exterior details include an 850R front valance, an egg-crate grille, Euro headlights, V70 taillights, and a roof without cargo rails. Its beige interior has heated and power-adjustable front seats, a glass sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an SC-815 head unit with a GROM Bluetooth adapter. The cylinder head was refurbished and the timing belt was changed in 2018, and work since 2023 has involved overhauling the air conditioning, resealing the oil pan, and replacing the axle boots, subframe bushings, tires, and battery. This 850 T-5 estate shows 173k miles and is offered with owner’s manuals, two keys, service records, and a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name.
