Default N reg 850 2.5

Picture to come soon.
Metalic green volvo 850 2.5.
Window tints,
Full cream leather,
Manual,
saloon,
T5 alloys,
No tax or mot and all that is required is the ABS light to be sorted which I am pretty sure is down to the ignition portion.
Car has around 120,000 miles on clock and has had 2 owners from new.
Has been sitting a while so could do with a good service.
Starts first time every time and reason for sale is,I need it off the garden as I have another car on my drive as well as the car I am driving.
I am going to ask 400 ono as I believe the leathers alone are worth that,aswell as the wheel probably being worth 100.

I will do this for you too.
If it fails the mot (after you sort the abs light) I will give you your money back (no quabbles).
Thanks for looking

Forgot to say,I had T5R wheels on this and the car could of passed as a T5R,It is a nice car and really worth a look,even if you require it for parts,infact I would of broke it as I know I could make the 400 off parts but it is too nice to break aswell as it not having any problems what so ever.
I would have this on the rd my self but I have a T5.
It is that nice I won't even take the parts for my T5 off it!!

Let me put some pictures up and then you can get a idea of what you are buying.I will try get them up in the next few days for you.
Paul is right,don't think I would ask for less then 700 if I had MOT and a bit of Tax.I would take it for MOT my self but I would have to insure it to do so,so don't any one think it is one of them sales where I have tried to MOT it and it has failed as I have not even tried due to having my T5.I am 99% sure this will pass MOT 1st time with the ABS light done.
Shame you are not closer,so you could just pop around.
As I say who ever has it,fix the ABS which I strongly believe to be the ignition portion 10 used or 30 new,take it for mot,if it fails I will give you your money back no quabbles.
I would recommend a oil change and general oil change all round as it has been sitting a while.

my dads 850 had the abs light on, to pass its mot he just removed the light bulb so the light wasnt on, just dont take the car to a dealer to get it mot'ed. GL p.s removing the bulb is simple, just reach up under the dash

Ha,some are very clever now a days,they hook a wire and check (thats your local cheapo garage to I've read)I was thinking of doing this but as I say,I purely have not took it in due to not wanting to insure it for the sake of MOT.If the garage was a bit closer I would just drive it there,its quite far though and I have a nice clean license and T5 to worry about first :-).
Thanks for tip dason.

Are these cars fast?what compared to the T5?Honestly ain't even drive this car on the rd to see what it is like.Might consider putting a T5 engine in this if it don't go as it is nice all round.Even got the leather case with screw driver and stuff in the boot :-)

I tried and give up lol.Think your limited to size as it kept just crashing the browser till I went small.
Best thing to do is to eith save it and image re size or drop me a pm with email address and I will get the few others I have.
Or just say what pictures you want and I will get my little brother to take them.
If I don't sell this soon,I am going to keep it as a project and whck a hi tuned T5 engine in.
To nice to break or use as spares.

Ps would px or straight swap for a 940 saloon turbo or some thing rear wheel drive turbo,may consider none turbo and put a t5 engine in.
