Default 850 2.0 2ov Estate project/breaker

My 850 has done 285000 miles and has a full history, its tested to Ocober 29th this year, disabled tax, runs outend of August.
Was going to be my project but work and my disability means I can't do it.
Lack of space is another factor so I can't break it either.

So...

96 850 CD estate in silver, no rust and paintwork good until I made a balls up of touching n some stone chips. Rear spoiler, both bumpers have parking scars.
Black leather interior, no rips or tears, drivers seat worn in the usual place but not scuffed. Drivers seat electric adjust -works.

Engine still pulls well, I do 600 miles a week and most of this is fast A roads.
Bats along really well and averaging 30mpg even with some town work. Auto box works smoothly although the fluid is a bit dark but I have seen the discussions on this forum on the merits of changing it.
PCV needs doing ,have the oil trap and hose +reciept from Volvo.
New radiator last year, new fuel pump -genuine Volvo in November last year.

Air con doesn't work but have a replacement compressor, think it the air gap.
New exhaust from the cat back but blows a bit on the joint.
Cruise control doesn't work any more.
Rides really well, no rattles or squeaks.
Good tyres but could do with tracking.

This was a keeper really but I have to be realistic, I do not have the time or physical strength to do it myself and to pay a garage is too expensive.
Would make a decent project or a breaker but that would be a shame.

Looking for £200 and you can drive it away.
