1997 Volvo 850 T5 with 146, 600 miles. I'm only the 2nd owner of this car, which is unusual for a 850. The title is clean and in hand. This car is modified to be a fun daily driver. The tune is probably a bit on the conservative side and reliability has been a top priority.

I would consider this 850 to be in very good to excellent condition. There are no dents and no rust. There are some very minor scuffs and one scratch on the rear fender. One plastic door trim piece is chipped on the corner.
In the interior, the drivers side seat bolster is splitting like it does on pretty much all tan leather Volvo seats. Most of the interior door pulls have chips in the plastic corners. I don't believe the drivers side seat heater works anymore. I'm not sure about the passenger side one. The rest of the interior is in good condition.
Everything works but the heated seat for the driver.
This car is modified a bit!
Turbo - rebuilt Volvo 18T from a v70R. Maximum boost is set at 18psi by the ECU.
Blue top Volvo injectors
ME4.4 conversion and tune
OBX 3 DP to 2.5 exhaust with upgraded clamps (somewhat loud)
OBX strut tower brace
IPD intake and heat shield (factory air box will also be included with car)
IPD transmission cooler
IPD / MSD coil kit
IPD heavy duty TCV
IPD silicone TCV hose kit
IPD heavy duty spring seats
IPD heavy duty CBV kit
IPD / VDO boost gauge kit
IPD 3 pod gauge kit. One pod has the Wide Band gauge. One pod has the boost gauge. The last pod is empty.
IPD silicone coolant hoses for the turbo coolant lines
Innovate Wide Band o2 gauge and sensor.
Poly upper and lower engine torque mounts from FCP
At 141, 000 miles the timing belt, water pump and idler pulley were replaced. In the last 12 months the car got a new Bosch fuel pump, Bosch cam position sensor and Bosch front o2 sensor. Most of the coolant hoses were also replaced due to feeling soft. Some were probably original. The oil cooler hoses were also replaced.
This year the Volvo dealer has replaced one axle and cv joint, did an alignment and replaced the coolant sensor.
The transmission is running Valvoline synthetic fluid. The transmission shifts very well and has no issues. The Ipd oil cooler was added to keep it that way. A manual swap would be a fun next step for the car though I simply don't have the time or space for it. I've also done regular oil changes with Mobil synthetic oil and Mobil 1 oil filters. Currently it has Castrol synthetic and a Mann filter.
The air condition works and blows cold.
The drivers door check may need to be replaced soon. The door doesn't stop in the middle of its opening swing anymore. The door does open and stop opening at its normal position.
The car has 16 wheels and kumho ecsta 4x tires.
This car has been my daily driver the last three years. It has been very reliable car for me. I'm only selling it because I own more Volvo's than I have time to drive. I take very good care of my vehicles. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a 850 T5 in similar or better condition.

Used |
“There are a couple of scratches and scuffs. Only one scratch is actually noticeable, and it's pretty minor. The drivers side passenger door plastic trim has a chip in one corner. The paint is in very good shape. The drivers seat has a tear in the side bolster as they pretty much all do. Overall, this car has very little wear and tear, and could pass for being a newer car than it is. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a 850 in better shape.” |
