850 T5 Auto

[bigV]

I am looking to buy a reasonable 850 (saloon or estate), t5 turbo only, must be an automatic.

I live in Coventry, don't mind traveling in the midlands type area, but I don't want to go to Scotland or London for a cheap car.


Have a max £1500 to spend, but it would have to be nice for that money.


If your is for sale and you think it might be what I'm after please PM me on here


Edit:

Obvously I would also consider a S70, V70 or C70, (T5's) but I don't think they are in my budget???

Car no longer needed, bought a C70 just now!

You bought a C70 T5 for £1500...............

You got any pictures of the car yet, I'm interested in the condition of it for that kind of cash....;o)

In all honesty I paid £1700, a bit over budget. I don't have the car yet, I left a deposit last Sunday (17th) as the garage had to MOT it for me first....... unfortunately that is taking longer than expected because they had to send the ABS ECU away for repair.............. I am not too bothered because it means I get a well known fault fixed before I get the car :-). I should be getting it today or tomorrow!

Here are the pictures and the advert from the website it was advertised on, I saved them to my PC, but they are crap quality.

130k but the condition is lovely, service history with bills, v.tidy interior, decent tyres.............. seems cheap doesn't it? But if you look at the completed listings on ebay quite a few have been selling for around the 1700 mark (although not in THIS colour and condition), there are others advertised for 3k+ but they are just getting re-listed or re-advertised over and over again.


PICS: (Will upload more when I get the car back home later....)

The pics are working from my PC which is strange?

Yes, as stated it is a C70 3dr coupe, T5 engine. Saffy Gold colour.

^^^ I only have 2 pics of my new car and 1 interior pic at the moment... Some pics of my old car on there as well, which was an 850 also in a gold type colour.

Nice buy. I just picked up a c70 t5 gt for £1600 off ebay so they are available. Mine did need a cambelt doing as it was at 87k so did the waterpump at the same time and ended up doing the rear brakes as well for a full cost of £486. Still, piece of mind and all.

Now just need to fix the blown centre speaker (replacement found) and find a replacement dash tweeter.
