Default Volvo 850 T5 Manual

Evening Guys,

i have only owned this car for a short period with the intention of fixing it, but i havent got the funds nor the time to get it sorted. I bought the car to run as a daily from A to B.

for the few weeks i owned it was amazing....Till the problems starting occuring.

The car isnt mint by far but i paid just over 800 for it with just short of a months MOT.

Specs

Volvo 850 T5 ESTATE.
Miles - 222,222 however the oddmeter has stopped working. My plans were to fix this or replace it.

Full leather interior
All electrics work.
4 new Tyres fitted
5k HID fitted
Headted seats
Cruise Control

Bad Bits

1. The glove box has been screwed in
2. There is a missfire (Changed the plugs and Leads, still persists)
3. Cv Axle driver side needs to changed
4. Radiator is leaking
5. MOT Runs out on the 27th April 2018
6. Driver side Wing has a hole due to rust eating it away. So new wing will be needed

Price - I am asking £600 or the nearest Sensible offer. with the volvo gone hopefully i can put some money back into my M3

Pics i can send to you through Whatsapp or email

let me know guys. This would be a good project for someone with more time

I don't mean to be unkind...But have you considered if your asking price is slightly unrealistic.

Have a look at the similar 850's and 70's advertised on here very recently and have sold fairly quickly.

The were priced accordingly and in good condition.

No rusty wings or leaky rads.

Hope this helps.

Parts are always needed and pictures tell a thousand words so try get some up, if you can, to assist with your sale.

I don't know to be honest.Just seems there are better examples out there for the same money.

Try posting some pictures or stick it on Ebay..Lots of idiots bid way to much on Ebay quite regularly so you might just hit the jackpot.

Don't know what you would get in parts for it.Doubt the engine, turbo or box would be worth hardly anything with the mileage.

No idea on the interior or any electrical gubbins.

Good luck

What are the wheels and seats like? Any pics of those? Depending on condition I may be interested in them if you end up looking at breaking the car.
