Should I check this one out or hold off for my future '97 850 T5 or '98 V70/S70 T5? What do yall think of this '95 850 for $3500? This is the high pressure turbo model correct?

Check it out in person looks real clean. It has
A 2.3 so I think it is a HPT. Good luck

Yes it is a HPT, you can tell from the 57 in the 6th and 7th positions of the vin. Check it out in person. Personally I do not like the tan interior Volvo put in the 95 model. Other than that it looks like a pretty good deal. If it had the charcoal interior, I would say ****** it up.

yeah looks like a good deal, but i'm in no hurry. i'd really love something with a black or gray interior & 5 speed would also be awesome, but i know is very rare

Not going to get an 850 Turbo five speed in the US unless it's converted or somebody brought it into the country. They were not imported into the US with five speeds. If the five speed is that important try and find a 98 V/S70 T5 with a five speed. My son got a white with charcoal interior 98 S70 T5M for $3200. He looked for more than year before I found it one day on e-bay. Had to drive about 400 miles to get it though. Nice car and well worth the drive.

Yeah that's what I'm talkin about. There was a silver 98 T5M black/charcoal interior with only 80k for $5500 on CL, but I think it's been sold
