Hi EveryoneToday I am selling my very reliable 1997 Volvo 850 T-5 (Turbo) wagon. This car is awesome. Before I go any further do some research on Google about this vehicle. You'll find that over all the owners of this type of vehicle, both make and model/year, are very proud and feel very safe and comfortable behind the wheel of this well built car. Many of them being original owners and are stilling driving it well above the 175,000 and even 250,000 with no major problems and more regular maintenance. In fact when Volvo first launched this model they actual gave a insurance policy to the original owner of the vehicle in the amount of 250,000 dollars to cover any accident while driving this vehicle, that how much faith Volvo had as a company that this vehicle would keep the familyI plan on down sizing to a less admirable vehicle to drive to work and around town because I want to pay off some debt. This vehicle has 87,000 original miles. If you split that up between years that comes out to less that 5,000 miles a year. So this car has had very little strain put on it through out the years. Below are a list of specs on the particular make/model.Paint -Color is a dark blue green-Over paint is in good condition w/ one noticable scratch (see below in pictures and video)Braking and Traction-ABS (4-Wheel) Comfort and Convenience-Air Conditioning -Power Windows -Power Door Locks -Cruise Control -Child Saftey Lock for rear WindowsSteering (Just had it aligned yesterday 1/28/2013)-Power Steering -Telescoping Wheel Entertainment and Instrumentation-AM/FM Stereo -Cassette -CD (Single Disc) -CD (Multi Disc) (has one in the truck but it has not worked for awhile, may be a easy fix though, the single one of dash works perfectly)-Premium Sound SystemSafety and Security-Dual Air Bags -F&R Side Air Bags -Automatic Alarm Activated SystemSeats-Dual Power Seats in Front-Leather Interior-RARE Third Row Seat (facing out back window)Roof and Glass-Powered Sun Roof (absolutely no leaks)Wheels and TiresAlloy Wheels Tires (90 percent tread still left, only 4-5 months old on all 4 wheels)This car runs super well and the AC is ice cold. It is very very comfortable to drive and the seats are very spacious. Leather is in great-good condition with minimal cracks and NO Tears. The only thing I can say about this Beauty is that the center back brake light on the glass window went out and needs to be changed and also the right front head light (not high beam) needs to be changed. BOth of these should coast in the ball park of 5-15 dollars. Also there is a scratch, as noted in the pictures where my wife scraped our mail box, this could also be buffered possibly. Please llok at the pictures and watch the videos linked below. www.youtu.be/uFcXUAFnLUI ww.youtu.be/ARXhkOWu8SE www.youtu.be/r8TlMXSCMyc www.youtu.be/6XUoi5Vym90 On Kelly Blue book website the care is listed as very good instead of excellent because of the above issue I just addressed. Below are the prices of each category for each condition this vehicle both make and model/year can be rated.Used Car PricesSuggested Retail Private PartyExcellent $6,075Very Good (THIS IS THE CONDITION ON MY VEHICLE)$5,800Verify Condition Good $5,675Fair $5,025 They don't make them like this anymore and one really cool feature of this vehicle is the backwards facing rear seats. If anyone reading this is older the maybe 28 years old you may remember these cool seats as children. It is a seat for one or two children that folds up from the floor in back and faces looking out the back window. It is very easy to access and put up and down. The Best Aspect of this vehicle of all IS THAT IT HAS ONLY 87,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT< WHICH IS VERY RARE. Please feel free to email me any questions. Below you can see the pictures and if you would like to stop by and see/test driver with me please feel free to do so by arranging a appointment I am listing this as a NO RESERVE auction but I also have it listed locally and reserve the full right to end this auction to due this 1997 Volvo 850 t-5 with VIN number yv1lw5727v2292574 selling locally. Also I will be canceling the insurance on this vehicle upon selling it, so the buyer must provide their own insurance upon payment and picking it up. This is exactly what the law requires when buying a car form a dealership before you can drive the vehicle off the lot. It simple takes a phone call to your insurance provider and my be done before hand if you wish by providing the vin number.
