Thinking about selling off the 850 and moving onto a newer V70 T5, or even a vintage ride like a 145, 122, 544, etc. Anyway, the brief list of 'mods' are in my sig, the full list is in my 'garage', found here:

pbase - http://www.pbase.com...n99/1995_855_t5

The car currently has ~180k on it, less than 1k on the head gasket and most of the stage 0 stuff & mods were done within the past 15k miles. Has a clean Cali title, clean CarFax. The car is fast, sounds good, and averages 20mpg city/30mpg highway, even with my lead foot. A/C blows cold. The PO claimed to have had the trans rebuilt roughly 40k miles before I bought it from them. Just waxed it 2 weeks ago so the paint looks good. It could use an alignment, judging by the outer shoulder wear on the front tires. I had it done after I lowered the car an it looks like they did a shitty job, again judging by the tire wear patterns. Other than that, if I can think of anything detrimental I'll post it up. I'll post up better pics of anything on/about the car for those who are serisouly interested, otherwise the pics on my pbase account will have to do for now.

EDIT// Yes, it does have the 3rd row seat, as well as the built-in child booster seat/armrest in the 2nd row seats. It also has an aftermarket CD changer installed, though I can't remember if it's 10 or 12 CDs.

$5000/OBO - trades considered (no non-running project cars, I have enough of those)

Car is located in Elk Grove, Cali (just south of Sacramento).

Oh, and just to add to this - I just purchased a set of RSI rods to use. Depending on sale price, these could be negotiated into the deal, as well as a '98 T5 shortblock with ~140k on it (was running when car was parted).

I Liked the "Nothing too fancy, just my daily driver. It's got a couple "performance" mods, some suspension, and some cosmetic mods too."
Looking at your mod list, this is somewhat an undestatement....
Good luck on the sale!

You've done a good job on your car, someone will definitely benefit from that and have a very fun car to drive!
Good luck with the sale, should go fast.

Well, compared to some of the wild builds that I've seen, mine is more of the 'cookie cutter' type 850 with a lot of the same mods as everybody else, hence the understatement tone.


One of the guys from TB has rights to first refusal at this point. Looks like it might sell quick afterall. Won't know for certain until the weekend after next though.

SOLD.

Mods, please close the thread?
