Default 1996 850R Turbo Wagon

Hello there,
I am new to the site. I have recently become the owner of a totalled (due to age and expense of repair) volvo. I am interested in selling her parts as I have recently invested 10,000 for repairs.

thank you for your interest.

I have owned this car for most of her life. I have been taking her in for repairs and regular maintenance. Only to find out that my mechanic, private shop, was a huge A and was not doing his job or did not know how ot do his job. I took her to a larger private shop and they found several crital errors that needed immediate repair. Along with another incident that occured not long after that. Then I had a minor fender bender. Insurance company totalled. I need to try and recoupe some of my expenses. I hate to see her go and just be taken for her parts, but I have to do what I have to do.

Any interest is appreciated.

Oh, so you are saying that you have a car that has recently been in an accident. Also that you have put a lot of money into it recently and you don't want to just have it hauled to a salvage yard.

Where is the car and can you post pics of the damage. You may also want to list the damage estimate and what recent repairs/improvements were made to the car so people can send you offers.
