What type of condition are you looking for? I am about to replace mine with an XC and I'll have an extra.

This is the one you can have, you would just need to pay for shipping.

I go to the Ecology junkyard in Santa Fe springs, they usually have 2 to 3 850s (I've seen 5 the most) and often you can find R models there like 2 weeks ago there was an 855R and a V70R sitting pretty in their lot.

There is a large yard in Sunland/Tujunga - right off the 5 Freeway - they always have a good selection.

Ill do aquick search, but ive never removed a full bumper cover, front or rear. I can fig this out fairly quickly, but anyone wanna give me the rundown of tools and steps? Doing it at the junk yard would be my first time...

Also, what else fits? a nice fully painted black v70 bumper would look very nice!

Also hit the Ecology in Wilmington and the U pick part right by it, Slim pickins for the size of both yards, Alameda U Pick was the best organized and most compact section of volvos.

Also hit the U pick U save, like 3 newer volvos. After that I found a very cool place, Thomas Auto Salvage in east Gardena... All they do is volvos. The had 3 loose Rear bumpers of various color, none perfect tho. I would have bought one and had it sprayed, but at that point i might as well just go with the insurance place and have them do it for $650.

Time to scour the skynets for a part out!
