You might have to find another car and have it painted yellow

These models are realistically almost impossible to find for sale

I would not say impossible, hard to find yes.

@iceton1975 will know of the ones in Australia as there is a register with Volvo Club.

An auto wagon and slightly over your budget... but it's cream yellow.

ive seen that one. abit overpriced not being an Aus spec car , im only after an aus spec car and sedan. otherwise its a nice car

You probably wouldn't find a better condition car in oz, itd be the only other publicly known t5r wagon.

The dealer has had the car for a while and would probably take what it cost them to move it on.

For 39k I'd expect a dashboard that hasn't been abused, either it's been off and damaged or the glovebox shit itself and they used the dash as a prying point.

Centre caps would also be required for a car of this price, it's the little things that count when asking top coin, not just polishing and cleaning and painting the trim black which incidentally should be grey.

I'm sure if anyone that "knows" these cars inspected it in person we'd all have a better idea of how "good" a car it is.

Very overpriced, at 38k I would be expecting not a single issue and being aus spec not imported from Japan

Maybe not overpriced, the market will speak for itself, if it's something someone has dreamed about owning since they were young and have done well for themselves then it will sell, 30 odd K isn't a lot to some people, others it's a fortune.

The Jap car's are just about identical to Au/euro spec'd cars, no real difference, only ones that are different are the Italian ones because they came with a 2.0 engine due to heavy tax on anything larger in Italy in the 90's

I understand , but generally speaking australian collectors or car enthusiasts would rather pay for an Australian Delivered car rather than an imported one. For some it’s more special. But at the end of the day it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay....

I know of a T5R saloon in olive green that could be for sale 1 of 1 to come to Australia

egg

I think the green really suits the 850. I just had another look at the black one for sale. It's pretty tidy.

Obviously not worth the asking amount. Would be interested to know what offers they knocked back if any.

Volvo's just don't have the appeal in oz for some reason. Have a look at the p1800's for sale. Some have been up for what seems like a year!

Yeah My dad has a 96 850 r in green and it’s absolutely beautiful that’s the main reason I want to get a t-5r cause I grew up around 850s. Great cars....
