Ive just been offered a mint 850R saloon by a trader friend of mine for £1,500 because he can`t shift it, just dont think folk are interested in these sort of motors anymore,

Ive bought and sold a few 850`s of late no R`s but 2.5`s and T5`s and i get quicker sales with the NA`s for under a grand, the two T5`s i had were nice but nobody wanted them privately, folk just weren`t interested in the Turbos they just wanted 2.0 or 2.5 NAs for less than a grand mostly because they wanted a reliable load lugger and nothing more the T5`s i put on Ebay in the end just to get shot, i wouldn`t buy another T5 and certainly not an R to make a few £ on the market is just too limited for them.
