1996 850 Turbo Wagon, metallic red.
160K miles, needs a new transmission and I'm done throwing money at this car.

Engine runs great, had 150K service, regular oil changes at 5K intervals. Recent brakes, starter motor, driver's seat belt tensioner, tires, timing and serpentine belts, water pump, transmission position switch, ABS module, front struts, etc.

Has "Columbia" 5 spoke wheels, including extra 5th wheel with very good tire on it. Odometer gear replaced just a few weeks ago. Everything works (except Reverse, which is why it needs a new transmission.)

Exterior has some dings thanks to my wife and her friends. Interior is rough, thanks to my kids.

Best offer, make it quick before it gets donated. Located San Francisco Bay area.

I had the shop take a look at it just in case, they confirm that the transmission is toast. So take it off my hands for the parts - please!

First $500 takes it away. That gets you a 2 month old starter motor and drivers side seatbelt tensioner reel which would cost you about - $500!

Plus there's an entire 850 Turbo wrapped around it.
- Turbo Engine, recent timing and serpentine belt, water pump,
runs great.
- Brakes done this year
- Front struts done a few years ago
- AM / FM / Cassette / CD
- 5 Columbia style wheels, all with very good Michelin tires

Do you think it can drive itself onto the back of a trailer or is it completely immobile?

Thanks for the inquiries, the car is gone.
