Default Parting out 1997 Volvo 850r

I cant believe I am saying this butI am seriously beginning about parting out my 1997 850r. I am close to $1600 deep into repairs and still cant seem to figure out the problem and neither can a volvo specialty shop. How much would I be able to get out of the car parting it out. Body and interior is in great shape. Volan wheels with a full size spare. What are my biggest ticket items?

Where are you located? The tough part about parting a car out is the shipping. It's a pain. I assume that car is black? I would probably want a few things. Is it a wagon or sedan?

I am in Annandale,VA which is right outside of DC and I wouldnt mind shipping. Yes the car is black inside and out. All in working order and it is very clean. Ofcourse I am sure you are aware of my mysterious partial non-start issue from another thread. . Let me know what you need. All I am really trying to do is get my $2500 back that I have put into this car which should be easy.

You may be able to sell it for $2,500 since it's clean. Heck, don't be to proud to take a little loss and get most of your money back. I wish I were closer. If you do decide to part it out I may get a few odds and ends from you.

I just picked up a 1997 R and could use some parts.

If you decide to part it I could use; Steering wheel and Fog light housings.

Good luck with the car either way.

Default Volan Rims

How much do you figure the volan rims are worth? How do the tires look?

Man, this thread is almost a year old. If he still has the Volans they are likely free. Come to think of it, I got a free set once, with newish tires.

You might sell something if we could see what you have.
