Up for sale is one of my 850R's. I have to many cars right now and this one regrettably has to go. I bought this for my wife last year but she wanted a brand new car so she bought a 2009 Acura TSX (tin can) but she is happy and thats all that matters. When i bought the car it needed a lot of work. I am a Volvo Tech and i did all the work. See below for the list of things done. Everything works 100% on this car. The engine does not smoke burn oil leak oil or make any unusual noises. The transmission shifts smoothly without any slippage or banging gears. The suspension and steering is tight without any squeaks or blown out shocks. The brakes work great without any ABS or TRACS lights on. The A/C works without any compressor problems or leaking. All of the electronics work 100%. Both drivers and passenger side eight way adjustable memory seats work in all directions. All the power windows as well as the sunroof work flawlessly. The Electronic climate control works in all modes and the blower motor doesn't make any unusual noise. The eight speaker sound system in this car sounds great for being 15 years old. The Cd/Tape player/AM/FM and electronic antenna all work without any problems. The only problems with the car is the cosmetics. The exterior has its share of scratches dings and dents which i have in the pictures. Also the seats have some wear. One small hole in the drivers side bolster. Other than the cosmetics this car is great it will last for years and at least another 100K. My sister has a 1996 850R with over 280K and it runs perfect. Please email me with any questions. For an additional $1500 i can make Make this car a manual shift 5-speed. This will include everything including a correct ecu tune so no check engine lights. I have done 9 Manual shift swaps without any problems. Not only do you get better gas mileage it also makes it so much more fun to drive. Things that i replaced when i bought it with 160K Timing belt All of the upper engine seals Breather box with new hoses Spark plugs Plug wires Cap and rotor ABS control module 4 tires Oil cooler lines Rear struts Left rear trailing arm bushing Front spring seats Both front control arms with good used ones Front and upper engine mounts Air filter Flushed the transmission fluid Flushed the brake fluid Flushed the power steering fluid Flushed the coolant Rear pads and shims Machined the front and rear rotors Oil change (just did the third one since i had the car last week) Replaced the front bumper with a brand new Volvo "R" cover There is more i just don't remember it all.
