  • [SOLD] 1997 850R wagon - Gunmetal Grey - Automatic - $6500

My 850r wagon is looking like it needs a new home. She has been a great car for the past 11 years. This thing corners and goes well for what she is. I don't really want to sell it but it's time to cut down on the amount of cars I have.

Located on the Gold Coast, QLD.









The Good -

- Always maintained my specialist Volvo mechanics (Stevenson's Nerang)
- Brand new Bilstein Touring shocks as of February
- Swedish lowering springs (can't remember brand)
- All new brake pads and rotors (yet to be installed)
- Yokohama Blue Earth tyres
- IPD USA extra thick prototype heavy duty rear sway bar and endlinks (this transformed the handling of the car)
- Boost gauge and boost T. Was told ECU had been chipped but never confirmed.
- IPD USA Aluminium Air box
- Gearbox has been refurbed early in my time of ownership and shifts solidly.
- IPD poly gearbox mount
- Head was refurbed approximately 2 years ago. Bottom end was within spec so it was left.
- Exhaust with sports muffler
- New crystal indicators
- Tow point



The Honest -
- It showing signs of age around the place and in the paint (namely roof, bonnet and side skirts)
- Needs brake components installed
- Air con compressor doesn't work
- Radiator is wired on as one mount is broken
- 300 KM's (odo stopped working)

Price starts at $6500 due to all the new stuff I just bought for it. Slightly negotiable.

Please note - I will only sell it to someone who is going to treat it well so no P platers. Sorry.

Message me to arrange phone calls/inspection. Cheers

    My GF has bought a new car so this is now officially not in use as a daily.

    Time for a new home before I'm forced to paint it. I really don't need 4 cars to my name.

    Inspections welcome and all offers considered.

    Hey,

    How many kms has the motor done again? Lost track in this thread.

    Is it original motor or recon?

    Any electrics such as ABS playing up?
