Volvo 850R Manual Estate For Sale! Low Miles, MTE Remap!

rado-steve · Apr 4th, 2013, 23:31

Hi All,

Right, with the arrival of my new car, and the fact I hate seeing her sat on my drive doing nothing the Volvo is up for sale! I’ve owned it for nearly 3 years, I bought it in July 2010. Its been an awesome car and has never let me down, current mileage is 124,730 which is fairly low for a Volvo. MOT till May 12th. I would look to put 12 Months MOT on it though for the asking price. No Tax. 1996 N-Reg.

It took me quite a while to track down a manual car, especially with low miles as they all seem to have been to the moon & back!

The R model was a last hurrah for the 850 in 1996 before being replaced by the V70, they were fitted with every extra from the factory, so it has A/C, Dual Climate, Factory 6-Disc Changer, Cruise Control, Electric Heated Memory Seats, ABS & TRACS traction Control, Electric everything, Viscous LSD etc. In fact the only options were Saloon or Estate, Manual or Auto.

When I bought it, it had a recon Turbo fitted, so this is all good! The previous owner also fitted the sports suspension & Full stainless exhaust system and Samco hoses etc under the bonnet. Since owning it I’ve had the following work done:

• Full Geometry Check
• Front Discs & Pads
• New ARB Drop Links
• Full PCV System Replaced
• Track Rod End & Suspension wishbone
• Diagnostics session to find out why Lambda light was lit (See below)
• Genuine Volvo Lambda Probe so no dreaded Yellow Lambda Light!
• Turbo Oil return seal Replaced
• Main Crankshaft Oil Seal replaced
• New Clutch & Release Bearing
• Timing Belt fitted at 121,184 Miles
• New Front Tyres fitted less than 5K ago
• New Rear Tyres fitted less than 2K ago
• MTE Remap by Kalmar Union
• STG 0 Tune (Distubutor Cap, Arm, Plug Leads Leads etc)
• Genuine Volvo Coil Pack
• Genuine Volvo Motorsport Strut Brace
• Plus lots of other odds & sods etc

As you can see I’ve spent a small fortune on her and all the things that usually break etc have been replaced!

I’ve only done 7000 miles in her since purchase, the last MOT reading was 124,131!! So only 600 odd miles this year!

She looks great and really sounds the part thanks to the stainless exhaust, which is just sporty and not loud, it just produces a lovely off beat warble you’d expect from a 5-Pot! She also pulls really well and is very capable of keeping up with much more modern machinery!

Other extras include Roof Rails (Not fitted), full 7-Seater with fold away rear seats in the boot and the optional retractable load cover & cargo nets.

I’ll let the pics do the rest of the talking:

As you can see she is in awesome Cosmetic & Mechanical condition, the interior is also in great condition!

She is 17 years old, so please don’t expect a brand new car, she does have a few stone chips etc and the odd dink etc, also there is general wear on the interior etc. Electrical wise Everything seems to work, all the windows go up & down and both front seats moves etc & heat up ok! Both mirrors also work!
I’ll be really sad to see her go, but I love my VW’s too much and so after 3 awesome years its time to pass her on to hopefully another enthusiast who’ll look after her as these R models are getting quite a classic & cult following!

Price wise, due to her being low miles, manual, the condition of the paintwork etc and the fact that everything that goes wrong with these has been replaced etc I’m looking for £2995 ono

The car is in County Durham, please PM me, email clubgticleveland@yahoo.co.uk or call Zero7971 Six23155

Thanks Steve
