is it a 95, or a 96?was yellow t5r produced in 96?

 

T-5R's were 95 only.. He wasnt to sure so he put 96 he said.. All he had to do was look at the door...

i think RSPi or boxpin need to pick this one up

 

You are right. I do need to go snag that one. I won't be far from there in a few days.

 

Someone on here get it? Whoever it was is one lucky sob and just got the deal of a lifetime.

Just called the guy already sold it, if he hadn't I would have bought it.

 

sold out already? dang that was fast. the next t5-r will be in my drive way.seriously.

 

There is still the one on ebay.

here is two more.

Yellow sedan in California

1995 Volvo 850 T-5R Yellow Built Engine

Black wagon locatedd same area in California as the yellow wagon that just sold.

Volvo T5R Wagon, Black

 

I never forget when I got my yellow one about 7 years ago. Somebody traded it in on a new Honda in Indianapolis which is aobut 200 miles from me. I found it on Autotrader, said it had 9 pictures, but none showed up. I called my son and he looked and saw 3 pictures. I refreshed my screen and got some more pictures. This thing was just now be put on Autotrader. I tried to call and could not get an answer. Finally got a hold of someone who said they would hold it and call back in the morning. I called right when they opened and got them to take a $100 deposit on the phone to hold it while I drove the three hours. They had no idea what they had. By the time I got there they knew though. I tried to barter with them on the price, but they basically said they had three others ready to buy it if I didn't.

 

There is no way I would sell my black wagon that cheap. There are less of those than of the yellow sedans.

Other than that, that yellow sedan in Bakersfield looks tore up from the floor up.

 

I tried to get some specific production numbers for the 850R from Volvo's website, and was told they are short staffed and don't have the resources to provide me with the information. Oh well.

 

The production numbers are not a problem to get, it's what's left that's a guessing game.

 

Where do you suggest I find the numbers if Volvo won't provide them?

 

Which numbers are you specifically looking for? The first page of this thread has some info. Some are on Volvo's website (they have press releases that give numbers), then there is Google.

 

I am looking for 97 850R production #s in the US

Would love to see it broken down by wagon vs sedan
as well as quantities made of each of the 3 colors

 

Don't think that stuff is broken down that far but check the press releases.

I would actually offer less than what he is saying NOT to offer him.

1995 volvo 850 t5r (trades)

Not having pictures of the damage means that it's worst than what he is saying it is. Someone needs to tell this guy that: to fix whats damaged, new tires, correct T5R wheels, getting all the odds & ends done and then getting it to Stage 0 cost more than what the car is worth.

 

yeah, thats why I never posted that up here when I saw it at the beginning of the month.

If someone isn't willing to show you current pictures of a car that means there is a lot more damage then what they are telling you.

the body damage alone is most likely over a $1000. when I emailed him on the 19 of april he still had it.

So hes been trying to sell it for over a month now.

@rspi what price do you think the gentlemen should be selling his black T5-R wagon for? Just curious

 

The black wagon... if the car has no rust and actually drives, I'd say no less than 6k.

 

I was hired to detail one of those yellow ones in Tasmania. I believe the owner (an avid car collector) bought it from a farm shed and was selling it to the mainland (Australia). However, I drive past one each morning parked at a gym si I am not sure if it is the same or I am lucky to have another in my small town.

 

Snapped this today...

 

Looks good. Needs some tint on those windows.
