I'm selling my 850R (to buy a C30 T5 *gasp*)
I love wagons and I love the 850R and still can't believe Volvo actually made something so good, but with the 244dl now complete I want to sell this and lease a much newer used car through my employer.
Bad
* Paint on the roof is oxidised
* Some scratches on the bumpers
* D pillar paint has also been damaged
* Paint is generally pretty average
* Driver's seat back could use a new skin
* One of the two handbrake cables needs looking at - tension or replace
Good
* New seat bottoms
* Freshly rebuild CV shafts (the stronger type, taken from a manual V70 T5)
* Brand new 302mm front rotors and pads
* New drivebelt and drivebelt tensioner and pulley
* Have cleaned up the suspension a bit, only thing left on my list is to do the swaybar bushings and drop links
* Comes with urethane control arm bushings
* All tyres with > 50% of their working life left
* New CBV on the turbo
* Koni sports front struts
* Nivomat rears (working well, it levels itself nicely with a trailer)
* Working A/C
* V70 spoiler
* All interior lights have been replaced and work(!)
* Head unit comes with a Yatour so you can plug your phone in via headphone jack
I paid $2500 for it unreg., spent maybe $1k on it, and now I'd like to pass it on for $4000 even, which I think is very fair considering $1000 of that is rego.
If you want to buy it interstate let me know and I'll work out the price with rego cancelled.
I'll add more photos tonight of the interior etc.
