Beater with a heater?? MUCH MUCH MORE!! This car has saved my arse ALL winter! Started in the 10degree days and went everywhere I drove it. I've upgraded so now it can be yours for NO RESERVE!! ABSOLUTE SALE!! I know...the 850s don't demand a hgih dollar but coming from the BEST VOLVO seller on eBay....it's worth a look. Why drive a crusty old Taurus or Cavalier when you can had the safest most reliable car on the road?? Looks good. Drives great. Starts every day. Cheap transportation. The body looks good. Minimal paint fade on the hood. Bumper covers look nice with minimal cuts and scrapes. Minimal fading on the vinyl. Not cracked or showing any damages. You will happily hit the carwash and enjoy your new beater on a regular basis! Front tires look great with 75%+ treadlife. Rears are Michelins with great tread too. All ride on vibration free rims. Rims have seen better days tho. Hood and roof ar smooth and straight with no major dents. The car has a handful of dings to be found. Below is the ONLY (unusual) rust spot to be found on the entire car. Below is the hood clearcoat fading. Interior is very nice. I actually PREFER the cloth vs the leather. Lasts way longer. Cooler in summer. Warmer in winter. All power items seem to work: windows, mirrors, power seat, cruise, locks, climate control (AC need attention and doesn't currently work-maybe just a recharge needed-very cheap replacement parts required for this AC system), HOT HEAT, AM/FM/Cassette (power antenna works when it wants to-you can hear the motor), All lighting works, transmission modes, etc. No damages to the cloth. Minimal cuts and wear to the door panels/vinyl/dash. Steering wheel looks good. The ONLY eyesore is the custom headliner tacks....they are holding it in place!! See below. ALL the dummy lights illuminate upon startup with ONLY the CHECK ENGINE light staying on during run. It is ONE code...the cold air pump code. This pump blows cold air into the aribox for emissions purposes. If I clear the code, it comes back immediately. It does NOT affect the performance of the car including the MPG. I got 25 MPG all winter in this car and drove it for over 1300 miles over a few months. No worries! Complete spare setup is intact and ready for your roadtrip anywhere! Aftermarket floormats included. LOOK at how nice these seats and carpet are!! As seen...compete factory issued manuals are included. ONE WORKING keyfob and key are included. Super clean engine compartment is serviced up ready to cruise!! Recent Autolite battery is strong and fires engine right up. Oil and coolant are clean with no signs of any major leaks (no spots on my shop floor overnight). I changed the transmission fluid just to do it. Super easy to do. Fresh spark plugs. Timing belt has been inspected and was most likely changed around 90k in my estimations leaving about 30k left until the next change due. No overheating. No engine noises or ticking. Smooth and strong. Transmission shifts as it should. The ONLY noise under the hood is from a light light alternator noise. It's been like this from the day I got the car. It charges perfectly and looks to be a remanufactured one. It's not broke, so I'm not fixing it. Junkyards sell em for $25. Brakes feel great with minimal pulse (from car sitting for the last 2 months in the rain). Suspension feels nice and tight with no noises, popping or squeaking. Honestly...the car is ready to go anywhere. Clean title and paperwork in hand. INSPECT my excellent feedback!! BID, BUY, and DRIVE this car ANYWHERE with 100% CONFIDENCE!!
