Default Oh Did I Get a Good Volvo Or What!

After looking and Looking, I finally found a clean 2nd owner White 1994 Turbo Station Wagon. Every option including heated seats, and a distinct optioned fog light set up on the grill. I did a Carfax and found out the 850 turbo was shipped to San Francisco CA. No wonder these extra options were included. How common are these?. Anyway the Volvo has 150k even. I received even the valet keys etc. really nice find I think. Regards, Marvin.

Are you talking about the two big round lights that fit right above the bumper in front of the grille..?

If so that is a really Rare option, I know a couple people that are looking for that set up..

Great find on the car!

I'm wonder since it was originally shipped to San Francisco, they must have put all the goodies on it? It spent its whole life in San Fran, then the owner moved to Boise Idaho, and that's where I come into play.

Looks very nice. Thanks for sharing. I doubt that car has seen much snow.

You want to put some Lexol on those seats to keep them from aging any more.

All ready have some. Good stuff, now if we can just get the temp up. Dang it's cold. Tomorrow supposed to be 34 degrees. Yippi! I used lexol on my 89 560 SL. This Volvo has such a sweet foundation . I currently own a 94 850 4 door, no 1st gear, won't pass emissions etc. it's clean but to rough. I will sell it for $1000.00 or salvage price.

Default My 1994 Turbo Wagon

Thanks. This is the best used car I have found for the money. Even the passenger side has 8-way power seats. Has outside temps, kids seat, etc. oh I can't wait to polish, Tint the day lights out of my car.
