1997 Volvo 850 GLT, auto trans, FWD
1997 Volvo 850 GLT, 2.5 liter, 5 cyl turbo, auto trans, FWD
Tons of pics at this link:
http://kwc.smugmug.com/Other/1997-volvo/21128473_9ZWMX2
dark blue, loaded, heated leather seats, alloy wheels, moonroof
front and side airbags, premium CD stereo, keyless entry
good AC, power memory driver seat, power door locks, windows, mirrors
133,XXX miles (odo reads 14k, odo replaced at 118k - documented in records, old odo in glove box)
one owner, lady driven
The good:
No rust
Recent tires
Recent belts and timing belt / tensioner, crank and cam seals
Recent AC service, brakes
Plugs, cap, wires, rotor in 2008
New battery
interior in great shape
stereo is superb
Issues:
Will need ball joints soon and perhaps front struts while in there, low speed rattle in front end, ball joints have about 1/8” of slop but car still tracks straight, parts and labor about $500 from my mechanic for this job, A Volvo dude can do this for half that
ABS light / TRACS light on about half the time (could be a wheel sensor or module, if module, there is a guy online who rebuilds these for $135), cheaper to ignore
Throwing an evap code (CEL is burned out), emission related, I will put a new OEM fuel cap on this week which may clears this code
Can be a bit bitchy on really cold starts, coolant temp sensor?
Few other small issues:
Lights behind heater controls out
Antenna motor runs but antenna doesn’t deploy
Tiny ding in each wheel well, little overspray on one quarter panel from a dear bumper repaint (light rear-ender)
Could use rear driver door trim, it is curling a bit and catching on the front door when opening
Left turn signal doesn’t cancel
Driver's sunvisor a little "lazy"
