Default 1993(L) - Volvo 850 T5 Manual 280bhp - £950ono - Cambs

Volvo 850 T5 Manual Saloon

Anybody who is looking at this is very likely to know what it is! So I wont bore you with too many details. These are fantastic cars one of the best wolf in sheep's clothing ever made. The only thing that normally lets these down is the slushmatic autos they often come with. Thankfully this one is a 5 speed manual so you get to choose when to keep gear and how long you want to keep that amazing 5 cylinder engine on song!

Good Points

- Passed MOT this morning(17/05/2013) with no advisories. Only needed a CV boot and front number plate which have been replaced.
- Car has just had a minor service with fresh oil and filters before the MOT.
- Has had an upsolute remap by CCCTechnology taking it to 277bhp which cost £310, receipt included
- Cambelt replaced at 119,000
- Good bosch silverline battery
- Front polyurethane top mounts
- Good Michelin pilot sports all round
- Recent CGmotorsport clutch kit with receipt for £275
- Recent catalytic converter with receipt for £267
- Fantastic spec, dual zone climate control, heated seats, electric everything, half leather interior, silent to drive, makes an amazing sound when pressing on!
- Aftermarket headunit
- Aftermarket immobiliser
- Lots of history and old MOTs

Bad Points

- Body has a few little dents and marks as you would expect for a car of this year really
- Some paint coming off the front bumper where the tops have been colour coded, I think the previous owner just caught a few things with the corners. This could very easily be painted cheaply if it bothered you
- Bit of an oil leak from the rear of the engine, nothing to seemingly worry about I just wanted to mention it so there is no suprises
- Some wear on the drivers seat as you would expect

Its probably the quickest, best sounding car you can buy for the money its fantastic to cruise around in peace and comfort but as soon as you want to have some fun it provides you an amazing sound track and LOTS of power.

Car is located in March Cambridgeshire PE15 postcode. I can be reached on 07964962146 text only during the day or call in the evenings or weekend.

Would be an excellent "sleeper" or "Q-car" for someone!

Don't won't to offend you, but people pay that amount for much cleaner cars - with or without a remap.

I am very open to offers its just a starting point. Ive had quite a bit of interest on ebay but no cash in my hand yet.

Where would you expect to see it priced at? I priced it where it looked fairly in the middle of the market as the manuals don't seem to come up often.
