[sold] [New Zealand] YELLOW Volvo 850 T-5R 129k very nice condition

I thought all t-5r were manual ?

All Australian-delivered yellow T5Rs were manual.
There was one special order T5R in Olive green shipped here as an auto, there might be another one or two in black.

Rare? Definitely. T5Rs are becoming rarer, an auto yellow one is obviously quite rare.
Desirable? I'd say it'd be less desirable than an Oz-delivered manual one.

@mark72 , please update to include a price.

The k's and apparent condition as well as the colour are major plusses but factoring in shipping and other import costs will count against it so you are looking at someone who really wants your exact car. Good T5-Rs and Rs albeit with up to double the K's have been asking around the $5 - 6,000 in Oz. Project more like $2 - 3,000 and absolutely mint examples with low K's, the most desirable colour combinations and manual have asked north of $10,000.

Others will have their views but unfortunately I suspect you would be in the mid range (5-6) for an Oz buyer due to the extra costs, risks and hassles to get it landed and on road plus the fact that most buyers want manual. Maybe worth more to sell it in NZ?

There's a couple of immaculate manual t5-r manuals for sale here at the moment for around that and I think most people if not all who are interested in this model would only want a manual .
Very nice looking car though . Glws

I'd say that's reasonable. Because it's a yellow T5R, with yellow being the 'hero' colour of the lineup, it'll no doubt go for more than a black or even an olive one as both black and olive green were still available when the T5R became the R.

Best of luck with the sale.

Hi Mark, I'm in Auckland, where are you? How much you want local in NZD?
