My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next car or truck through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of your next automotive purchase. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description as well as our Terms & Conditions carefully BEFORE asking questions or placing a bid as most answers can be found in at least one of those places. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction. Up for a NO RESERVE auction is a 1995 Volvo 855 Turbo. I used to sell a dozen or so of these per year. However, they have been getting harder and harder to come across. I would rate the exterior of this 855 Turbo to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for it's age and mileage. As you can see, this is a good looking estate. It is finished in dark green over gray leather interior. As with any older car, please expect a few flaws and imperfections commensurate with age and mileage. On this specific Volvo, there is visible clear coat peeling on the hood, fenders and roof as well as a dent in the right fender. The paint shines nicely, otherwise. The body lines are all nice and straight. The hood, doors and tail gate all open and close easily. All of the glass and lenses are intact. All of the trim and cladding is present and shows well. The factory throwing star wheels also show well for their age and are wrapped in a nice set of rubber with average tread all around. The tires do lose air after sitting a few days so you may want to look at replacing them. Please take your time and check out each of the photos carefully. I would rate the interior of this 855 Turbo to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for it's age and mileage. The door cards are clean and tight. The carpets show well for their age throughout the interior. The dash and headliner are clean, too. It looks as if the front seats have been recovered. The seats are clean and comfortable. The power windows, locks, seat, sunroof and mirrors all work properly. The audio system is original and sounds good. The climate control system is fully automatic and appears to be working properly. It's a little too cold to tell whether or not the air conditioner is working, but I can tell you that the heater works well. The cargo area is spacious and clean. The wood interior accents show very well for their age and indicate that this Volvo most likely spent most of her life sheltered from the sun. Again, please check out each of the photos carefully. Mechanically, this Volvo will need a few normal odds and ends, but appears to run fine. The 2.3L turbocharged engine starts easily and runs smoothly. I didn't notice any leaks and the engine does not smoke. You can feel that the front end will need a full set of bushings. You can drive the car, but I'd plan on replacing basically everything rubber in the near future. The engine keeps perfect temperature and makes good power. I bought this car simply because I couldn't remember the last time I saw an 855 Turbo come through wholesale...but then I parked it and forgot about it. She needed jumped but started right up. The engine sounded a little tappy and there was a trace of smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Neither of these were present when I first got the car. My guess would be that the valve seals weep a little and the lifters just lost their prime. Both of these should go away with an oil change and frequent use. The ABS and Tracs lights are on. I can't remember if they were on when I first bought this car...so they may go out on their own after some use...or you may just have a dirty wheel speed sensor. The transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly. With a little bit of love, this could be a nice turbo wagon for somebody. If you've been looking for one of these, you know how hard they are to find anymore...especially a 95 that doesn't have all the OBD2 emissions junk. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

We sell vehicles to the public with NO RESERVE auction pricing. Most of the vehicles we sell are trade-ins at new car dealerships or high volume used dealerships in the area. We hand pick each of our vehicles based on quality, value and desirability. Basically...if I wouldnt drive it myself, Im not going to try to sell it to you. We give every vehicle a thorough test drive and a visual inspection before it is offered for sale. We strive to provide the most thorough and accurate description as possible within the scope of our ability. Please understand that we are not mechanics. The opinions contained within the written description should not be taken as a professional mechanics assessment and are not guaranteed. There is additional risk in purchasing a vehicle this way versus buying a vehicle from a retail dealership that has been fully serviced, reconditioned and inspected. We try to mitigate as much of that risk as possible for our customers...just keep in mind that most of our vehicles sell for significantly less than a similar vehicle would be priced on a retail lot. We offer warranties through CARS to help offset as much risk as possible. Please understand that some of the vehicles we sell are disqualified from warranty eligibility due to age, mileage, price or other factors established by CARS. This is out of our control. No amount shall be set aside or discounted if a vehicle does not qualify for coverage under the Terms & Conditions established by CARS. Please see each individual listing for Warranty Eligibility. We have sold over one thousand vehicles on eBay to happy new owners through NO RESERVE auctions and we aim to continue to do so. We are very proud of our feedback score and our many repeat buyers. If you have any questions about how we sell, our policies or questions about a specific vehicle, please send us a message. Vehicles ten model years old and older are exempt from odometer disclosure, this is a federal law. Mileage may be listed as "exempt" or "TMU" on titles for vehicles older than ten model years old. Should we have reason to believe that mileage listed for a vehicle is inaccurate, this will be disclosed within the written description provided for the vehicle regardless of the odometer status listed on the title. Terms and Conditions: Payment Options We accept the following payment methods: - Cash (in person) Vehicle Pickup & Shipping All shipping charges are buyer's responsibility. General Terms Please be sure to read the entire written description as well as our Terms & Conditions carefully BEFORE asking questions or placing a bid. We go out of our way to provide the most detailed description we can provide within the scope of our abilities and offer 50-100 photos with each listing in order to be as transparent as possible. To ask us a question, please send a detailed message through eBays messenger service. This can be done by clicking the link that says "ask seller a question". Please wait to bid until you are completely comfortable doing so. By placing a bid, you assert that you have read and agree to our Terms & Conditions as well as eBays Terms & Conditions.

This decision shall be made by the seller, at its sole discretion, and can be made at any time during the duration of the auction or after the auction has ended. The seller may, at its discretion, cancel any bid at any time and / or block specific members from bidding on current or future auctions.

Non-Paying Bidders: We take what we do very seriously and ask that potential bidders take placing their bid just as seriously. Non-Paying Bidders will be assessed a re-listing fee of $249. This fee is considered due and payable, without demand, to Liberty Auto Exchange on the 8th day from the end of the auction. Non-Paying Bidders will be reported to eBay, blocked from bidding on future auctions and may be referred to our Collection Agency for credit reporting and fee recovery. Fees and Taxes The only fee we charge is the $149 Administrative Fee that is also disclosed in the first sentence of the written description. Because we sell with NO RESERVE, we have no way to control how much (if any) money we make per vehicle. This fee helps us isolate a few of our fixed, per transaction expenses in a way that is fair to everyone. The winning bidder is responsible for paying all required fees to their respective state of origin.
