just looked at the pic's, that looks just like my reg not T5 turbo in white. I think with a few mods in the eng bay you are able to get your ultimate dream. try to talk them down on the price, you can get them cheaper than that.

 

I think this is the 1st place to check the vin: http://www.volvocars.com/us/tools/Ow...lvoOwners.aspx

Also, the heated seats and the headlight wipers come together as a "Cold Weather" package. You won't see one without the other without a mod.

 

Only mechanical difference between an 850 Turbo and an 850 T-5 is a few extra horsepower. The T-5 engine and the Turbo engine are otherwise identical. LPT didn't come out until 1997, and only on the GLT, and it's a turbocharged 2.4L. Those don't have boost gauges. T-5s have special interiors in addition to the extra power.

 

So what you are all getting at is that the white one is a really base model T-5?


Any turbo 850 prior to 97 is a t-5 (2.3L 222HP)?

 

850 Turbos and 850 T-5 is all the same car, just a different badge.
