Lightbulb FS - UT 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R w/93,xxx miles

1995 Volvo 850 T-5R sedan / $8,000.00

It took me nearly a decade to find a clean, well-maintained Volvo 850 T-5R yellow sedan below 100k miles. I have owned this for close to two years and this beauty quickly rose through the ranks of my collection as my preferred daily driver. My wife and I just purchased a mid-century home without a garage and some vehicular consolidation is sorely needed. Sting once said, "if you love somebody, set them free," and the time has come for me to say goodbye to my beloved Volvo.

Known issues:
1. Driver side heating element in outside mirror does not defrost
2. Driver side heated seat is disconnected (common problem which will be fixed prior to sell)
3. Power antenna does not go up and down. This may due to aftermarket Pioneer deck
4. Coffee cup holder requires replacement

Nice sedan, seen it myself.

I believe only 185 were shipped to the US (except for special order cars and military imports - about 15 more). If I had to guess, I'd say that there are about 90 yellow sedans left.

What's new RSPI? The spreadsheet in my for sale post is the best documentation I have found for the number of exported T-5R's to the United States. Where did you get your exported production numbers from?

How is New Mexico treating you?

My wife's brother is going to list his black T-5R wagon soon with approximately 225k miles. Its in good mechanical condition and driven daily however cosmically it could use some love. He was planning to list it for $3,500.

Let me know if you are interested.
