For you guys who are looking to purchase 850R parts. There is a guy on Craigslist in Huntsville, Alabama who has a wrecked 1996 850R for only $750 for the whole thing. He has pics posted of the car. Here is his ad minus the pics.

My son wrecked this car and we only had liability insurance. We had just put a new fuel pump in it. We do not know if it will crank as we had to remove the battery. This vehicle is sold as is. You must pick up, delivery is not available. Vehicle is 1.5 miles off I65 at exit 328. Serious inquiries only may call (256)502-9666. $750/OBO

I would like to know if someone here purchases the car because of this ad. Thanks

1996 Volvo 850r-wrecked

Good luck

 

if someone picks it up, i'll buy parts off of it!

 

I'm in for a couple of parts as well.

 

If it is still around this weekend I will go and pick it up and start listing the parts, the car is only about 30 minutes away.

 

shotgun tan seat skins/foam + door cards!..

seriously.

besides he says 750.. you say 500$ and work from there.
turbo/ECU/ Seats alone you'll almost have your money back as long as you dont mind ripping some parts out and shipping them.

 

I was excited for an opportunity to get a new front bumper.....no dice

 

I would be in for parts as well.

Steering wheel, radio, center console lid and maybe more. Depends on condition of the car I suppose.

 

I would love to have me some stock wheels!! Will even offer mine plus some cash!!!!!

 

news?

 

I have an appointment to look at it in the morning. She couldn't show it today. I will keep you guys posted.

 

nice! take some pics for us!
hope it has a tan interior.

 

Matt01, I'm not 100% sure but I think all the black cars had black interior.

 

When I got there this morning at 10pm it was gone. I spoke with her yesterday, she told me to be there this morning and then someone else showed up this morning before me and she thought it was me and sold him the car. Oh well.

 

well, thanks for the effort anyway!

rspi, it looks like a tan interior in the pics but it could be sun glare

 

Man, that would really suck. I call people several times when I'm on my way to meet them. How nuts is that?
