1996 Volvo 850R Wagon Black $3995

116k miles runs and drives beautifully, well maintained. Automatic, amazingly fast “the 911 of wagons” 5 cylinder turbocharged DOHC powerhouse. I'm a Volvo enthusiast, and this rare beauty has been my personal car for many years. Unfortunately, it’s time for me to be more practical.

No crashes, title in hand. Leather with suede insert interior in good condition with no rips or tears. Carpets, floor mats need a shampoo, but are otherwise undamaged.


The Opportunities for Customization:

Paint! The clear coat has decided to retire early. It’s flaking madly on the hood and the roof. Absolutely no signs of rust anywhere. The front and rear bumpers were color-match painted several years ago, and the parking lot devils have smacked the front bumper enough it will need refinishing. The front spoiler has seen a few steep driveways as well. If I kept it (and I nearly did) I’d go flat-black all over.

Heater core- the heater core has been leaking a tiny bit for many years. I’ve found no evidence of water in the cabin, just a slight smell of antifreeze periodically. Unlikely you’ll notice, but the car comes with a brand new, in the box, replacement heater core.

Tailgate struts are weak and the car comes with a fresh strut set uninstalled. Takes about 30 minutes to swap out.

One axle recently replaced, the other has a torn boot and will need replacing soon.
