Hi all, I'm selling my Volvo 850S wagon. I'm the second owner and have had it for the last 15 or so years. I've looked after it mechanically, if not cosmetically, as you'll see in the pictures. I've never really had any issues with it. I've fixed a few things myself here and there, but it's never needed anything major. It has been an incredibly reliable car. It'd be a great project, but if you're not ready to start, it's totally fine to use as as your everyday ride.
It's stamped Nov 1995, and first registered Feb 1996.
Auto transmission
Registered until the 5th August 2023.
Odometer reads 169ks, but it probably around early 200's. The odo didn't work for a few years and I only got around to replacing the gears under lockdown. It's always been our second car and, apart from one or two family trips each year down the south coast, isn't used a lot. I ride a bike to work so it's never been used as a commuter.
The bones are solid and it drives really well. I replaces the ABS controller but whoever refurbed the last one (can't remember) didn't do a great job as it's gone again. I've got one here, ready to go in, from Berry Motor Group.
The airbag light is always on only because, when I pulled out the dash to do the odo, I reconnected the battery before plugging the airbag back in. It's supposed to be the other way around.
I pulled the roof lining out as the glue had gone and created an almighty dust storm.
New battery.
Air-con doesn't work but that might just need re-gassing.
Heater doesn't work - might be the heater core.
I have the original radio/cassette (not installed). I've also got a couple of wiper arms and a rear taillight. I'll also throw in my bespoke joinery work.
I'm sure I've missed stuff, so don't hesitate to call/text me on 0405 371 014 to discuss. Car is in Inner West, Sydney. I'll be listing elsewhere shortly.
