Olive Green 850R (855) for sale

alanscottgraham · Oct 27th, 2010, 10:13

Ok, so after much thought I am going to sell my 855r. Basically because my wife won't drive it. and it was always a childhood dream to have one and i've done it now.

its done 204k with history. 1997 on a private p plate

Its in good condition but has a dent in the rear quarter that was there when I bought it and never got round to fixing it's not that bad and may even push out.
and its got a few very minor marks. but no lacquer peel etc.

Since I've had it Its had a service, new cambelt and tensioner. new pcv, 4 wheel laser alignment and front wheel bearing. it runs perfectly. All the electrics work apart from the drivers heated seat. It has Volans and I also have two spare with no good tyres.

Looking for a quick sale so asking £1300. Don't really want to go the ebay route
it now has satin black volans as those were really tatty.

Now needs a service so £1200 no offers

I'm in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire.

Shame it's an auto as I'd have had it off you if it was a manual.

Good luck with the sale - they are cracking cars and capable of big mileage if properly maintained.

Thanks, it really is a great car, did forget to mention it has only one stamp missing out of a full book of service stamps so I think it has been looked after pretty well.

Well, it's a great deal and if anyone is thinking of buying with a view to LPG converting, let me know as I've run mine for 40,000+ miles
on gas now and it's been brilliant.

I know what you mean, i looked for one for ages and all too expensive now they seem two a penny. so tempted to keep it but mrs wont have any of it. I drove it this morning to have the tires fitted and its so raw and quick its great. just bought a audi a4 tdi and although its very nice its never going to be the drivers car the volvo is.
Had a few queries but everyone asking if its a manual. auto i'm afraid. but it turned me into an auto lover and the audi is auto too.

Car looks well. How long have you had it? What exhaust is on it?

Drop me a pm if you prefer.

Cheers,
C

It's a standard exhaust as far as i know. the car is all nice and original still. had it just over a year.

Cheers mate, couple of other questions, what MOT and Tax does it have? Any advisories from the last MOT? Also what condition are the tyres in?

Again, PM me if you prefer.

Cheers,
C
