FYI a car I owned is on ebay ...

Just in case someone's looking for an 850 2.5 20v I've just seen my old one for sale - not me selling it BTW.

FWIW I sold it to a chap who had it for about 12 months and I saw it come up and be sold on ebay about 6-8 weeks ago.

It's now back up with another (trader) selling it on.

It still looks as clean'n'tidy as when I owned it.

Nothing bad about the car in my time, (other than I rendered it a non-starter for a while due to bore-washing!!!) but the last seller declared that the mileage counter was u/s (not in this guy's listing so might have been fixed) just saying.

Here's the link & no offence meant if the guy selling the car's on here, just adding to its history.

Was nice to drive but mpg round town .... nasty.

Linky ...

Looks a very reasonable buy. Both sets of keys being present is a real bonus.

Regards, John.

Yup,

Interestingly, the asking price now is (IIRC) less than it sold for about 8 wks ago.

Nice condition, just too dear to run for round-town trips.

Tempted again & miss it I do (but SWMBO says "no")
