Maybe selling my 850R

[scvolvo]

Stick it on eBay, it will be hard to get people to buy it at that price, if they remember when they were £1000-1500.

By the doubters wake up, most will be sold to people willing to pay more, when they come to sell in many years in the future prices will have moved on even further.

Also I guess vpc'ers will know how much you paid and will not want to pay a lot more, obviously not considering the work it takes to get a car in straight condition.

its took me a year and at least 4 grand to get it where it is now, i'll probably just keep it, i just didnt want 2 toys (744 turbo) and a daily (745)

I know how you feel there, I'm just working through the cars now, both gulls will be finished to some sort of standard by summer.

The lazer v70r is being retired as I won't get the money I want for it, so I'll stick a 6sp in and s60r lump with 19t,once gulls are done.

The 850r will be broken (not happy about that) as it's the best way of getting money from it.

And the sonic v70r will be the daily driver.

Here is the sonic, I like very much

nice mate, i wouldnt mind one myself, aint had a phase 2 yet, only 17 old ones lol

Had 3 s60r's you probably know, but I must say I do miss driving one.

They are fairly sorted from Volvo, only a map is needed really to get 330-340 bhp on a strong healthy car.

So a bargain fast car really, a bit more maintenance than an 850 but nicer to drive. Not the total nightmare they are made out to be and 05 onwards were heavily revised as an example angle gear is meant to be 300% stronger.

if i ever have another volvo it would be an s60r, flash or black with atacama, although would be a backwards step in the speed department lol

You should post up a build thread on the 740 as I have one of those in my sights and my friend has the red 740 turbo at the southern meet.

Actually he is meant to be coming with me and the wife and daughter to Gothenburg later in the year.

They really aren't slow, had 174 on the road hawk gps (obviously not on the road etc). Used to get to 160 in just about 1 1/4 miles-ish.
