Just thought I'd share. First post, hopefully its not rubbish.

These dont seem too common to me is that right?

Hello James , welcome!

Post is great and thank you for sharing.
You are correct , not too many , the last I saw was sold in QLD and was a manual as well , could be same?
Another may pipe in with stats on how many.
There will be a low K one coming up in Adelaide soon too.

It would be a nice drive I reckon if the AWD system works properly.

Cheers. Im glad to hear that.

Is this the same car as the one your talking about. Sorry for thr repost.

Im always keeping my eye out because I'm keen on getting a project car soon. Live in WA tho, so the pickings are a bit slim.

Do they run a similar setup to the xc70 and such? I've heard they can be a bit of trouble if the owner has neglected them (obviously).

Oops!
You got there first!
Its my lack of memory!!
Ahh well , why not get a ticket to fly and pick it up , go back on train or drive it?

The awd system is same as XC but differing components in suspension to allow higher ride in XC.
Same problems too but these seem to be better looked after as more rare , I dunno , if you get one it is a gamble.
Do as Rob did , buy XC manual car , pull out the rwd gear and put it in a fwd ensuring it will all be good?

Ex850R;32020 wroteHello Moderators , could this be merged with the other radar post for same car please?

I really didn't remember it even though I posted. Fuck me I may be senile!!??

Yes it can :)

Cheers Rob!!! ;-)

Hello Simon !
Welcome!

Nice looking car , I think the only question from here would be how is the awd system working?

I love a white 850 Wagon , especially one with AWD!
