I can haz moar 850? May pick one up. Has issues
So I found an 850 project.
I need a refresher as its been a while.
Here's the scoop: 1994 Turbo wagon. Tan on tan. Body has 245,000 miles. Exterior is IMMACULATE. I cannot stress how amazingly clean it is. Inside is perfect except for the driver's seat having a rip. Supposedly has an engine with 89,000 miles.
Won't start. Cranks, but no start. Owner states it will run and then die after a while, and then after a few tries of starting it runs fine. Battery is almost shot.
Fuel pump relay? That's my first thought. Maybe the PNP switch?
Next is a relay by the fan in that little section by the front of the car. It buzzes REALLY loud. I'm not sure what it's for, but its gray and I believe has the number 508 somewhere in its part number. I have a pic of it, but that would require me to get out of bed and go over to my phone to upload it, and I am too lazy for that.
Then, the Winter mode triangle sometimes flashes. I almost think its the transmission S/E/W switch, as the WINTER button is stuck from crumbs, dust, and food. Or, what else could it be
From a visual inspection, the body is like a 9.9999999 out of ten. Only flaw was it was missing the driver's headlight wiper blade and fender VOLVO emblem. Both of which I have in a box in my basement.
Tires were decent, rotors looked relatively new, and I would assume pads are newer too, unless they were total cheap asses and didn't change pads.
$800 cash
Gimme yo thoughts
