Volvo 850 (1995)
for sale

Price: US $1,500.00

Description:

My black 1995 850 turbo wagon was hit about 6 or 7 years ago. After a lengthy battle with two insurance companies, and even though the damage was confined to drivers side body work and with no mechanical damage, it was declared a loss, which means a salvage title. Three different body shops found no damage whatsoever to the frame.
It spent most of its early life under a car cover inside a garage. I bought it from the original owner and it was my daily driver until this accident and I loved it. It has a bit over 100k miles but has been filled with Mobil 1 most of its life and always ran hard and smogged just fine. My mechanic was ex-Volvo factory Rallyteam and said my wagon was faster than the ones they ran. My insurance company valued it like a clunker off some used car lot, which triggered the salvage designation. I fought for a fair valuation to prevent the repair cost being too high a percentage of the total value but to no avail, so it has sat since the accident. My intent was to restore it, but I have too many projects, and will pass this worthy one on to someone who will appreciate it. The leather heated front seats have wear but the rest of the interior shows little use.
The original cost of the car was $34, 550 (1995 dollars!) It has every option that was available at the time, including the power sunroof, black leather seats and steering wheel, 8 way power drivers seat, heated seats and mirrors, traction control, cold weather package and remote entry and security system. All of the emblems have been removed and euro side lights were installed. It has a spoiler and dark tinted windows. I have the original Volvo manual and the maintenance handbook, along with the original window sticker that it wore on the new dealer lot.
Upgrades include:
· IDP Motronic Performance Upgrade ECU
· IDP Anti Sway Bars
· IDP Alloy Strut Braces
· Bilstein Shocks and Struts
· Brembro Rotors and Stainless Steel Braided lines
· Performance Exhaust System with Free Flow Cat Convertor
· 18” Binno Rims with Type W Ultra High Performance Tires
· Custom Grille
· Spoiler
· Upgraded Sound System with Original Equipment 5 CD Changer
· Horns have been moved for better airflow to intercooler
· Extra set of aluminum rims – one rim of this set is busted- might have been going a little fast when we hit that pothole.
I haven’t registered it since the accident, and my pink slip does not reflect the salvage status, but my insurance company said that a new pink slip will. The car is currently located in Downey, CA and can be shown by appointment. If you have any questions, please ask.
