Rare 1996 VOLVO 850 R. I'm the second owner of this 850R. Current miles at 195K. Always a CA car since new. ZERO rust. Purchased from a realtor in Moraga who was the original owner; the daughter drove it for a few years until she moved to SoCal. Then it sat. When I bought it in late 2014, I had the timing belt done, brakes, new KUHMOs front and rear, BILSTEINS in rear. The PO had the head done in early 2014.

Factory red with the tan suede/ leather interior. I had the front seats and shifter boot redone a year ago. All registration fees are paid up through September of 2017. I've spent $1200 to get it pass emissions in CA. It clears emissions flawlessly, but it will not reset and clear a code ( I have the invoice); keeps saying "not ready". New wires, plugs, MAF, O2 sensors, etc, etc. I have other interests at the moment.
( I have just found out that there are existing exemptions for 94-97 850s for monitor code resets, so it will pass inspection as Emissions are below average).

Front tires are fair ( 20%); rears are 90%. KUHMOs had excellent traction but wore out fast. New rear brakes on cross-drilled units. Front brakes are 30%. Needs some cosmetics ( namely clearcoat cheesing the hood and a split on the left of the original front spoiler), but runs and runs well. It shifts and drives into all gears, but makes noises from one of the CV joints.


ZERO overheating issues. IPD swaybars front and rear, IPD front brace, VOLAN wheels and other incidentals. CLEAN CA title. $1500. Bring a trailer and take this rare 850R home.

I am selling this VOLVO as a running project. My daughter drove it home from Sacramento to the peninsula. 850Rs are very rare, and the most desirable 850. EM, text or call if seriously interested.
