Did you check out the mileage on the odometer? It looks to be in good condition to me. The door will require an old school metal master to repair the damage. The roof rails are available at the dealership but expensive.
I have been told a better solution is to purchase the S70 roof rails.
I've never seen a carbon fibre rear cover before! The front bumper is in excellent condition and very few rock chips on the hood.
Such a kwel car!!!

The roof rails on the S70 are a great replacement. I did that a couple weeks ago. Big difference.
I didn't look at the mileage. It was starting to get dark and I would have had too look really hard and I didn't want to tick off the wrong person. But I have a sneaking suspicion that the trip odometer would have read 0000 if you know what I mean.

Cool. I saw this down at Titlow Park. I had seen it before on the 509 freeway near the Port Of Tacoma.

Yup, Dave Barton's prancing moose adorns both fenders and the trunk lid. Came with the car, but after seeing how badly the paint is bleached behind the license plate, I'm not going to pull those stickers until the car is ready (or rather my wallet is) for paint.

My 97 855R has a hole rubbed in the drivers front bolster. Yeah, I'd like to fix it, but $1200 in reproduction seat covers aren't in the immediate budget. I talked to a couple upholsterers, and haven't found anyone who thinks they can repair it.
My car has a destroyed front bumper cover. Took me a few months to scrape the $400 together to buy one of the last new ones in existence in the US. I haven't budgeted the funds to repaint it yet, due to other issues taking precedence in my life. So, right now, it sits in a box.
I still enjoy driving it. I still wash it. I still clean it up regularly, and make the most I can out of it. Most people don't know what an 850R is, but I can tell on occasion when someone who is a Volvo aficionado sees it in a parking lot, or going down the road, and checks it out.
Right now, my biggest pressing automotive matter is buying some new tires before winter
You don't need a pristine car to love Volvos, or enjoy the fellowship I enjoy with my fellow Volvo owners. Seems like nearly every car is a 'work in progress', even the guys I've met with cars that looked pristine and perfect to me have a 'to-do' list.

I always check out 850s, V70s and S70s. I saw a very clean white 854R at homedepot a while back and talked to the owner. He was surprised that I knew what he had.

Mat, the only single stage on that car is the new front bumper, trim under the headlights, and mirror caps. I had them all painted at the same time, the damage or various visible layers of paint were too much for me to look at. I've tried buffing the car, I'm pretty sure the last re-paint was a BC/CC job. Fine by me.

I'm not sure which one I was seeing on the freeway before.

There is a link in the Classified Section where a guy makes those seat covers for about $575 a pair.
