Default 850 T5 Saloon Auto

Think I'm going to have to sell my 1996 850 CD Auto Saloon in 418 regent red metallic. Only reason for sale is I don't use it.

Good stuff:

-Will have 12 months MOT at sale, for which I will fit 2 new rain sport 3 tyres on the front to match the new ones on the rear.
-17" Comets
-Bilstein B4 shocks and Eibach springs
-HD drop links
-Strut Brace
-302mm front brakes
-Do88 silicone boost hoses
-Comprehensive stage 0 late last year Inc. PCV, cambelt, aux belt, plugs leads, dizzy, rotor, TCV, all vac hoses.
-New alternator
-Rear main seal replaced (fair old job on an auto)
-Gearbox flushed
-Turbo return seal replaced
-Both front arms replaced
-Over £800 of alpine sound system, Head unit, front door and dash tweeters, rear door speakers, custom made sub enclose in boot to fit snug between the arches with Alpine type R sub powered by Alpine MRD 501 amp.

Probably more I've forgotten.

Bad bits:

-Body work is acceptable bit has marks around it and some lacquer peel on the spoiler. Nothing is real bad and it polishes up nice. A good 10ft car.
-Odometer stopped at 143k. Car has ~160k
-ABS unit needs replacing (I might get around to this)
-Interior is average, no tears to leather.

To sum up, it's a mechanically sound car that drives brilliantly, not a show queen but perfectly acceptable. As said it will have 12 months MOT and a service before the sale.

I'll send pics if requested.

I'm not in a hurry to sell, or that worried if it doesn't to be honest.

Price: £1300 ono

Nice colour combo. I had the same myself once.
Reminds me of my 1st 850 T5 i bought approx 12 years ago.
Back then, my car only had 72 000 miles on it.

I didnt keep it long, because i really needed an estate...in fact, virtually all my Volvos over the years were estates/wagons. With 4 kids at that time, estates were just more practical for my purposes.

Just showed your car to my 16 year old son...he likes it a lot
He told me to buy it..............but i already have an 850 T5 estate...and i dont really wanna sell my C70 GT T5 either.

Good luck with the sale, now you have put up some photos, you will probably get a better response.
Cheers Paul.
