Default Some Pics Of My 1996 Platinum 850 Wagon . Just Cleaned Her Last Weekend :)

Just cleaned her last weekend. Here's some day & night shots I took. Anybody got an interesting trade? I'm looking for an equally clean 850 or S70 T5 with a black interior. I got too many tool bags & would prefer/need the black interior. Anyways, what yall think?

I enjoyed to see the greenery in the background as well because we are still in dry cold time of the year.:P

What you need to do is find a junked wagon with a charcoal interior and swap the interior into your car. Man that would make for a fine looing vehicle. It would take some work, but I think it would be doable in one good weekend.

Did the Volans come with it when you bought it or did you add them later? Somehow a Plat doesn't look correct without a set of 16" Persus wheels.

Nice ride though. I went to buy a new TV a few weeks ago and it didn't fit into the trunk of my Platinum sedan. I stripped the box off in the parking lot at Walmart and drove home - very slowly - with it hanging out of my trunk.

Nice ride! Never seen a Platinum wagon. I agree with JimkW, Swap the charcoal interior in. I would love to have that wagon but I have the same problem with my red/tan 855. As a mechanic, I just cut out a huge peice of cardboard to cover the back carpet and keep my driver's floormat turned upside down...
