Hi,
Sounds a nice bit of kit... Having said this, you may get more interest in the vehicle if you let us know the Year, Mileage and maybe a few images of the car to wet the buyers appetite?...and maybe a rough idea of how much you're looking to get back for it?.... |

Car is 1995 and has 174k but bear in mind the work carried out almost mitigates the mileage. I dont have a clue how to add a picture here...help?

850 T5R - for sale
Just to add, I'm targeting £12,995 for this car. I've probably spent this on it so its a really great buy, just get in it and drive and show it off. It will come with some spares and a new MOT of course and all receipts and work history. I'm available at 07725980409 or jfa.impact@gmail.com

With the greatest respect John, no one, and I mean NO ONE in their right mind is going to pay £13k for an auto saloon, T5r or not.
At that money it would need to be concourse standard. It isn't. For a start its got nasty orange aftermarket suspension fitted & drilled & grooved discs!?! And as for the mileage being irrelevant - i dont think so - has the engine been rebuilt (new rings,main bearings, uprated rods, RMS, head refurb & valve stem seals, cam seals, cam. Sensor etc...) turbo replaced/rebuilt & new TCV, IC pipework replaced & new Ic/radpack, gearbox reconditioned, driveshafts rebuilt/replaced? The liat could go on. For the money your asking ALL the above (and more) should have been done to give the new owner piece of mind. Otherwise its a ticking time bomb with bugger all budget left to fix it. Just because you may hace spent £12k on it doesnt mean its worth that or more. I love that these cars are finally starting to bounce back in value - they're my passion & I've saved my fair share - but buyer beware - a wrongun will break your heart & your bank balance. I recently sold a manual 850r estate for half what your asking. I could of cashed in & laid it on thick, but didnt...... Like yours it was rare (rarer as it happens ).. .. Like yours, it was a 22 + year old performance car & even though they are going up in value, it will go wrong, so leave a bit of meat on the bone for the next man! I'm not one for commenting on sales threads normally. But there was just something about yours that i couldnt ignore. This site is for enthusiastic volvoholics, most without deep pockets or flash harry aspirations. We just love the swede. Its a blessing and a curse. Try piston heads. Your advert will sit nicely in their classifieds......amongst some of the other ****e rolled in glitter. Best of luck. Morgan |
